I suspect the focus of this webinar will be mostly on people with physical disabilities vs. those who are, say, on the autism spectrum, but that’s even more of a reason for people with developmental abilities who can handle computer work to attend and have their voices heard.
STEM is a common abbreviation for four closely connected areas of study: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. And, as I’m sure you know, filling the growing number of STEM jobs has become a challenge.
The session will explore what it means to create resources, integrate approaches, and innovative strategies made with all students in mind.
