All About AT4UÂ
Meet Nat and Barb and learn more about why AT4U was created.
We know what it’s like to second-guess an assistive technology recommendation.
To feel rushed, unsupported, or unsure if the product you’ve selected is actually the best fit.
We’ve worked in a variety of settings for decades, supporting people with basic to complex needs and mentoring other clinicians in assistive technology. We’ve seen what happens when assistive technology isn’t well-matched, and how much pressure there is to get it right.
We build our courses from that experience, and from the gaps we remember facing ourselves.
This is the resource we wish we had: clear, practical, and designed to help you make informed decisions with greater confidence.
