I want to share some resources from this week's Assistive Technology (AT) for Adult Learners event.  First, I encourage you to check out the Explore AT website to learn about all of the free resources it has to offer.  This includes state-specific contact information to help your program and learners access free digital accessibility courses as well.

Here are a few other great, short videos to introduce how AT supports learners.
