Assistive technology (AT) is any item, device, software, or system that helps a person with a disability do something more easily or more independently. This short course introduces the basics: what AT is, common AT for visual and hearing impairments, AT for an aging population and for people with mental health conditions, and the AT already built into the devices you use every day.
It is useful for anyone who works in education, libraries, or administration, or who simply wants a clearer picture of how AT supports people. Work through the six lessons, then take the AT Basics Quiz. Score 85% or higher to earn your KSARN certificate.
