Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction, Concentration in Assistive Technology
Assistive technology is any item, piece of equipment, software, or product system that’s used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.
Our master’s degree program is designed to develop professionals who can effectively implement, assess, and research applications of Assistive Technology (AT) devices and services that provide greater independence for those with disabilities. It provides important training for practitioners, family members, and caregivers who make use of assistive technology while working with people with disabilities. Graduates learn to use technology to assist educators, professionals and individuals to function more effectively in school, home, work, and community environments
