universities can have exposure to assistive technology through class
presentation's, workshops, and hands-on training.
For students with disabilities, the Demo Lab allows equal access to software and computer programs for all Miami-Dade
County Public Schools students, especially special needs students.

training teachers, students, parents, future teachers and the impact of assistive technology training towards utilization in the
classroom. As a training tool the lab is ideal in that all teachers can have exposure to assistive technology through class
presentations, workshops, and hands-on training if desired. The AT Demo Lab also offers on-demand Virtual Online Training
