Webinar Series: Powering Digital Accessibility Through Systemic Action
Overview
This free interactive webinar series will prepare state and local education teams to implement NCADEMI’s Quality Indicators for the Provision and Use of Accessible Materials in PreK-12 Systems and serve as a foundation for those considering our optional year-long targeted technical assistance (TTA). Enrollment in the TTA begins in January 2026.

- Identify next steps for continuous improvement.
