For those of you interested in learning more about the use of assistive technologies (AT) in the special education classroom, THIS is the conference for you!  The TAAT has become one of the hottest conferences in the south for peer guided instruction, hands-on learning, and practical application ideas for using all forms of AT to support students with special needs.If you are interested in teaching a session, the Call for Proposals is still open (until October 4) and up to 2 speakers per session are allowed to attend the conference FOR FREE.  This year's event is scheduled for December 4-5, 2014 at the Cool Springs Marriott in Franklin, TN.  Contact hours and CEUs are included, provided by our co-sponsor, the AAC Institute.  For more information, to submit a proposal, or to register to attend, visit www.taat.org today!

My name is Janice Reese and I LOVE assistive technology! I worked as an Occupational Therapist for more than 15 years, earned a Master’s degree in Education Technology, and I’m RESNA certified as an Assistive Technology Profession (ATP). I have worked in the school system for many years now and I love using technology to enhance the lives of children with disabilities. Since my first love is teaching, I’ve spent just as much time training wonderful teachers everywhere to use these tools in their classrooms. AT4Kids, llc was founded in 2008 in an effort to provide quality instruction and resources for teachers, therapists, student users and parents who wanted to know more about using AT.

I currently serve as Director of the Center for Assistive Technology, a state-supported program of the Little TN Valley Educational Cooperative. LTVEC is a non-profit agency whose goal is to provide rehabilitation services and accessibility supports for students with special needs in east Tennessee. My AT4Kids blog is designed to be as a one-stop resource for ideas and information for those wanting to learn more about the use of AT with children in the special education setting.

I hope to offer helpful hints, program and product reviews, AT recommendations, links to great new finds on the web, and lists of resources for “all things AT”.
