The Connector, the newsletter of the Technology and Media Division (TAM) of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) has an ongoing column on totally online or hybrid (some online, some face-to-face) university training programs available in AT. In each edition we try to feature a program that provides people across the country who are not able to be in face-to-face programs all the time with opportunities to increase their knowledge and skills in assistive technology through university coursework. If you have a program, or even courses, that lead to a degree or a certificate and are open to people across a wide geographic area, Joy Zabala would be most interested in hearing from you to discuss featuring your program in an upcoming edition of The Connector.
