The Center for Assistive Technology Training (CATT) is a program of the
American Printing House (APH). The southwest program, which includes Utah,
is directed by Niraj Parikh of the Foundation for Blind Children in Phoenix,
Arizona. We offer training to teachers, parents, and other professionals in
the K-12 arena on assistive technology products distributed by APH.

In conjunction with the state convention of the National Federation of the
Blind of Utah, Niraj Parikh, Coordinator of the southwest region of CATT,
and Karl Smith, Assistive Technology Consultant, will present an orientation
and training seminar. This seminar will feature an overview of the benefits
of the CATT program and an introduction to some of the products for which we
provide training. These may include, but are not limited to, the Chameleon
and Mantis braille displays, the JAWS and Fusion screen readers, and the new
Monarch multi-line braille display. Additionally, low vision products such
as the Juno, Jupiter, and Matt Connect will be covered.
