What is edcampAccess International?
Back for our annual event – held during the ATIA annual conference. Carrying on the tradition started by edcampAccess/Boston and edcampAccessNJ, this will be an unconference devoted to k-12 special education issues and ideas with a focus on teaching all struggling learners and the use of assistive technology. The event is not limited to special educators, all are welcome to attend and share your expertise!
Please note: This unconference is not associated with the education program of the ATIA conference and is not eligible for CEUs.
When is it?
In order to reach more professionals, we are holding the unconference at the same location as the ATIA Conference. Our hope is that AT professionals who attend the conference, along with local Florida educators, will attend and discuss how they plan to implement all the great information they gained throughout ATIA. edcampAccess International provides an opportunity to process the great insights gained from attending ATIA and collaborate with others to challenge your thinking.

Help us plan the discussion topics!
This whole event is participant led. What do YOU want to discuss?
There are two ways to share your ideas.
Before we get to ATIA:
Visit our Padlet to share your ideas.
At ATIA:
ATIA has graciously provided a bulletin board outside the main Exhibit Hall entrance for us to crowdsource conversation topics. Add your ideas to the board and then make sure to join us Friday night for the discussions.
Don’t worry – you can suggest a topic without having to lead the discussion! If you are interested in a topic – we are sure somebody else is too.
Who are your organizers?
Your edcampAccess International Team has successfully organized multiple edcampAccess events and attended countless others. We know how to organize the event to maximize your learning and are excited to share the night learning with you.
