What is the GATE Seminar?
 
On December 6, 2019 the GATE Seminar will be held at Georgia Tech.  The Georgia Assistive Technology in Education (GATE) Seminar is a $15.00 comprehensive seminar for Educators, Therapists, Parents and Community Members to gather and learn about Assistive Technology to help achieve student success in the classroom. This seminar will feature a hands-on exhibit hall including national and local vendors in all areas of Assistive Technology. Specialists in the field will present a variety of sessions that focus on best practices, product demonstrations and classroom implementation strategies that will support each student as they reach for their “Accessible Tomorrow”.

Featured Speakers

For the 2019 GATE Seminar, rather than having one Keynote speaker, we will offer featured speakers at different session times throughout the day. We will have speakers focusing on both the low and high incidence populations. Featured Speakers include: Christopher Bugaj, Emily Rubin, & Vicki Clarke
