How We Can Help

Step UP AT is the resource that teachers and teacher assistants need for the professional development required to fully integrate assistive technology in the early learning classroom.

I like how simple using Module 1 was. It's all about the user experience process …the process was pretty quick, and the videos weren't too long. That's the thing with me. I like to get the summary of the information on the main points, and then go move forward from there. -Lashaevia B., Teacher
