In other news, CFTB partnered with two organizations this past summer to
provide a total of 52 laptops to students participating in assistive
technology camps. 

We are now able to expand this to more camps in 2020.  We may be able to
find funding for the computers through the Delta Gamma Foundation if
planning begins this fall.   For more information contact
