Almost 200 people
attended the 2009 Adaptive Technology Fair at the

In a dedicated vendor area, attendees spoke with

learning software companies, and communication device
providers. In an adjoining room, three assistive
technology workshops were presented:

The Fair focus was primarily centered around the idea
that early intervention, pre-school and primary grades
need to develop assistive technology programs to be
proactive in meeting students’ future needs. Because of
the economy, the Fair was made free for parents and
professionals to attend.
