Hear from Past Attendees

"I am a power wheelchair user and the technologies I have found at ATIA have allowed me to further my goals of independent living and independent learning and allowed me to do the same for our students by sharing what I've found. It has also taught me a lot about different disabled experiences and what to be mindful of in order to make things as accessible as possible for everyone."

"ATIA met all my expectations and beyond! I loved the sessions on emerging technologies! My mind is exploding in an incredible way with all the new knowledge from fantastic session speakers and hands-on experiences with vendors! Loved ATIA!!!"
