Description

This presentation provides the child outcomes from Step Up AT, an assistive technology (AT) program designed to support the learning and other developmental outcomes of preschool children with disabilities. We used an EDI framework to assess these outcomes to examine how our findings spoke to these goals and highlighted ways to improve from design to delivery. Findings underscore rethinking AT to promote children's holistic goals, including self-empowerment, identity, and belonging.
