Unlock Learning Potential with Next-Gen Assistive Technology (K-20)
Date: 7/28/26
Time: 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Presented by Dr. Brian Friedlander
As we kick off a brand-new academic year, the classroom landscape is evolving faster than ever. From elementary reading circles to high-stakes university lecture halls, advanced artificial intelligence and emerging assistive technologies (AT) are rewriting the rules of student support. But with a tidal wave of new software and hardware hitting the market, how do you separate the passing fads from the genuine game-changers?
Join us for this fast-paced Back-to-School webinar designed specifically for educators, specialists, and parents navigating the K-20 spectrum. We’ll move past the generic advice and dive straight into the latest, most innovative tools making reading, writing, and note-taking accessible and engaging for all learning profiles.
What You’ll Learn:
- Smart Note-Taking & AI Integration: Discover how next-gen tools and AI-integrated hardware help older students capture, transcribe, and automatically generate study guides from live lectures.
- Elevating Reading Comprehension: Explore the evolution of advanced Text-to-Speech (TTS) tools, multi-language real-time translation, and smart Optical Character Recognition (OCR) apps that turn static worksheets into interactive audio-visual experiences. Find out about the latest text-to-speech tools that now incorporate AI- a real game changer!
- Frictionless Writing & Expression: Learn about the newest multi-sensory Speech-to-Text platforms, context-aware writing assistants, and word prediction that can liberate students from mechanical hurdles so their ideas can shine.
Why You Can’t Miss This:
“True digital equity isn’t just about putting a device in every student’s hand—it’s about giving them the specific tools that unlock their unique potential.”
Whether you’re a teacher looking to build a more neuro-inclusive curriculum or a parent wanting to set your child up for structural success this fall, this session will provide you with a concrete, actionable roadmap.
