SEAT Center and University of Kansas Partnership

NCTI established a partnership with the Special Education Assistive Technology (SEAT) Center at Illinois State University and the University of Kansas to advance a national research agenda for issues related to the effects of assistive technology on educational outcomes.

AT Outcomes Summit

Together with the SEAT Center, directed by Dr. Phil Parette, and The University of Kansas School of Education, represented by Dr. Sean Smith, NCTI is proud to be a co-sponsor of the AT Outcomes Summit.

We are committed to working together to advance an action agenda that addresses the gaps in AT effectiveness data, teacher preparation, and the identification of best instructional practices.
