ATAC: WisTech Assistive Technology Trainings
WisTech AT connect: monthly chit chat
Please join us for an informal gathering to discuss assistive and accessible technology (AT). We will kick the session off discussing one or two highlighted things related to AT and then open it up for sharing, questions, and more. Meetings will be held on Zoom with captioning provided. If you need additional disability related accommodations please send an email DHSWistech@wisconsin.gov. Let’s build the network of knowledge. Register in advance for these meetings. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting along with the ability to add the meeting(s) to your calendar.
