What is SLATE?

Building a national community of assistive technology leaders

State Leaders in Assistive Technology in Education (SLATE) is a professional network of leaders of state, regional, provincial, and national assistive technology (AT) programs that support schools’ use of AT for students with disabilities in preschool through K–12. Together, we share innovative ideas, address emerging issues, and build a shared understanding of strategies that strengthen AT services and support the success of students with disabilities.

Our mission is to provide opportunities for networking and professional development among state-level AT program leaders.

In monthly virtual meetings, members:

Learn & Share

Explore activities and initiatives from other programs; share challenges, successes, and tools.

Gain Expert Insights

Hear from guest speakers on assistive technology and evidence-based educational strategies.

Collaborate

Work on topics such as UDL, MTSS, policy, and AT best practices to improve services nationwide.

SLATE participation is reserved for those engaged in leadership in their state around assistive technology through a state agency. Once your registration is approved, we will send you the Zoom link.

SLATE Community of Practice

Join our collaborative network to strengthen AT services nationwide.

SLATE meets monthly to spotlight a specific topic and provide a collaborative space for states to share what’s working and what they are learning along the way. Participants engage with topic experts and national partners, gaining insights, strategies, and practical tools to adapt in their own contexts.

Ways to Participate

SLATE is built by and for its members. While paid participation helps us continue making an impact, you are welcome to join at whichever level feels right for you—and you’ll still be part of a trusted network committed to strengthening AT services nationwide.
