ASL will be provided for the webinar. To request a reasonable accommodation, contact Jamie Anderson at jamie.anderson@ataporg.org by September 24th. We will do our best to accommodate requests submitted after September 24th, but short notice may interfere with our ability to fulfill requests that require third-party services.
Why is this important?
Assistive technology (AT) enables people to live healthy, productive, independent and dignified lives, and to participate in civic life, education, and employment and utilizing AT related to transportation is a key element in fuller community participation for all. The webinar will include time for Q&A and discussion. If you have questions you’d like to submit in advance of the webinar, you may also do so at: marty.exline@ataporg.org.
