[Trainer-Talk] education question

[Misty Williams]

Hi Jorge,

I'm an assistive technology trainer. My degree is a Bachelor's in Computer
Science. I have learned the AT on the job, thus far, through a combination
of training, studying online, attending conferences, and a natural
enthusiasm for helping people and learning new things. The field is
constantly evolving, so it's a good thing to be prepared to move at the pace
of technology. Good luck to you!

George, at this time there are no requirements to be an assistive technology
specialist.  What, exactly, do you want to do as an assistive technologist?
