About ATConnect

We were thrilled to have Michael Bloom, director of special education @ FCPS, speak at our open house this year. He provided truly valuable insights about assistive technology and what it means to implement it in one of the nation's largest school districts. We also had students share their stories of assistive tech.

But our work isn't done. We want to continue inspiring and empowering individuals across the Greater DC area. We want you (yes, you) to join us, either as a sponsor, attendee, or booth holder to make ATConnect on April 25, 2026 from 11 AM to 3 PM, a success.
