Assistive Technology

Texas Assistive Technology Network
Region IV Education Service Center was charged with establishing an assistive technology network to include the 20 Education Service Centers and TEA. Through a comprehensive planning process, the Texas Assistive Technology Network (TATN) has developed strategic goals to provide a framework for statewide collaboration which capitalizes on the existing assistive technology infrastructure in Texas. Priorities in professional development and technical assistance focus on providing training and services that build district capacity in assistive technology knowledge and skills, promote strategies for building the literacy skills of all students and are aligned with statewide literacy initiatives.
