Apple Adaptive Technology Seminar at Cotting School

Seminar attendees learn Apple adaptive technology during a recent seminar.

Are you interested in making better use of the Apple adaptive technology features built into educational technology tools? We are! That is why we’ve invited Dave Marra, Senior Systems Engineer and Accessibility Specialist for Apple, to offer a free workshop at Cotting School. In true Cotting collaborative style the workshop is free, and open to educators from any public or private school, interested in joining us. A registration link appears below.

Teachers and Therapists supporting students with special needs in reaching their wide-ranging learning goals use Apple technology with students constantly. This is true for professionals who work with students at Cotting School and HOPEhouse. It is also true for the team at Cotting Consulting who support students, teachers, and administrators in public school districts throughout the state of Massachusetts. In fact, in homes, schools (and in many other settings), kids, parents, educators, therapists, and other professionals are using educational technology tools all the time. Find out how to access some well-known, and not so well-known, accessibility and assistive tech tools.

Register to join us at Cotting School on January 22 from 9 am – 11:30 am.
