Assistive Technology

The Assistive Technology Department at ZED provides vital support to students with diverse learning needs. We assist in the selection and implementation of assistive devices, software, and tools, ensuring that students have the resources they need to succeed. Additionally, we offer training and guidance for both staff and families in our member districts to foster an inclusive learning environment. Assistive Technology plays a key role in developing individualized strategies and programs to support academic achievement for all students.
