[Athen] Seeking AT Professionals Opinion on Professional Development

This is a pretty simple one, but you can do FreeCodeCamp's Responsive Web Design certification. It will teach you HTML and CSS if you need that for your job (https://www.freecodecamp.org/).

Subject: [Athen] Seeking AT Professionals Opinion on Professional Development

Hello! I am new to a role specifically designated as AT (before this, I was still in the Disability Services department as an accommodation specialist). I have a decent background and understanding of various AT, am tech-savvy, and don't need the absolute basics. I am seeking AT Professionals' opinions on Professional Development opportunities. Some options I've seen include:

  1.
Seek membership in IAAP to lead to training and sit for the CPACC exam.
  2.
Complete CSUN's Assistive Tech Certificate Program

I've seen other programs like graduate certificates but lack professional development funding for those high costs. I would love any feedback on any programs or professional development opportunities you recommend!

Thank you,
Megan
