The 7th Annual CAST Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Symposium: The Future Designed

In October 2020, Oklahoma was one of seven states, chosen from a competitive field of applicants, who are receiving four years of support and technical assistance from the National Center on AEM with the goal of improving access to literacy and educational opportunities for individuals across the lifespan.

ABLE Tech is excited to pass along information on valuable learning opportunities related to AEM, accessible technologies, and AT!

Dates: July 28 – July 30, 2021
The 7th Annual CAST UDL Symposium will highlight promising work taking place in the field and will also serve as a forum to think about how schools can begin to intentionally design for a better future right now. This year's event is not about UDL as it has always been. The event is about the dramatic changes that are hoped for and the innovations that can lead schools there. Join the CAST team for a virtual learning and networking experience filled with connected conversations that elevate thinking around UDL and the future designed
