(November 20, 2007) George Peterson-Karlan and Phil Parette represented the Special Education Assistive Technology (SEAT) Center at the National Center for Technology Innovation Annual Innovators Conference in Washington, D.C. on November 14-16. As participants in a Tech Expo, they showcased the Center's innovative curriculum, research, and R&D activities with key leaders in the assistive and learning technology field from industry, academia, policymakers, and the media.
The SEAT Center at Illinois State University focuses on teaching preservice and practicing professionals the skills they need to meet the technology needs of people with disabilities through instruction that is practical, "hands-on," and performance-based. Instruction provided at the SEAT Center emphasizes developing competence in both assistive technology and other types of technology (e.g., instructional technology, adaptive equipment) that can improve the education and quality of life for persons with disabilities.
