Interagency Collaboration

The Sherlock Center, through Rhode Island College and in coordination with TechACCESS of RI (Rhode Island's non-profit ATA Assistive Technology Center & ATAP Information Center), has developed and offered professional development coursework in assistive technology since 1994 (see listing of available courses). Collaboratively designed and developed instruction in assistive technology is an on-going priority and initiative at the Sherlock Center.
