April 22 is National Assistive Technology (AT) Awareness Day!
Assistive technology plays a vital role in the daily lives of people with disabilities and older adults—supporting learning, communication, work, and independent living. AT is not a luxury; it’s a necessity that opens doors to education, employment, and full participation in our communities.
Today, we also recognize the importance of continued support and funding to ensure everyone who needs AT has access to it. Join us in celebrating the staff, students, and professionals making an impact every day through assistive technology!
To celebrate AT Awareness Day, we invite you to continue the conversation at: Tea Time with Tori – April 24 at 12:00 PM
Join SDS’s Assistive Technologist and Accessibility Specialist, Tori Jakpa, in Math/Psychology 222 for an engaging and welcoming conversation around disability, accessibility, and assistive technology.
Save your spot here! Enjoy tea, light snacks, and meaningful dialogue with fellow UMBC students, faculty, and staff. Whether you’re curious or experienced, this space is for you!
