Mission

AAETR seeks to provide a forum for consumers, families, service providers, and researchers to review assistive and educational technology. 

The boundaries between assistive, educational, and office technologies are blurring. Services that were once only offered in IEPs are now in demmand in a host of environments because they improve productivity. Unfortunately, information does not always flow freely between these diverse fields. 

As a result, AAETR was designed to support collaboration between people with varied interests. People may join due to an interest in education, rehabilitation engineering, educational technology, assistive technology, how technology improves productivity, how people interact with technology (user interface), and universal design for learning (UDL). However, as this group is still in its infancy, we have a chance to define it together. If your interests are not represented here, please help expand the boundaries of what the group offers. Again, this group is designed to be inclusive.
