[nabs-l] A question for you all

[justin williams]

Arkansas is at least one program where you can get assistive technology
certifications, but Ashley is right, it is not in the normal circulum
anywhere really.

Hello Matthew,

There is no certification in the US for assistive tech professionals.
You might want to go to college and then grad school where you study rehab
teaching; some tech instructors have a RT degree; rts are those people who
teach daily living skills.

How much can you spend? There is a very expensive program, which is
thousands, online. It specializes in the Microsoft products and screen
readers. If you take it, you have to also purchase a microphone to have live
chats with the instructor.
It sounds comprehensive, but ask around who has taken it before investing in
it.
Its with the assistive technology institute.

The site  is www.blindtraining.com/certifications/


HTH,
Ashley

Good morning list.
I am interested in taking some kind of certification course for becoming an
assisitve technology professional. Does anyone know of any places that will
do this, and that will also accept Canadians? Thank you.
