Metro Atlanta Assistive Technology Consortia 2012-2013

Meeting Dates for 2012 - 2013 School Year


 * March 13th**



Dear All, It is time for your friendly reminder that our METRO AT Meeting is scheduled for next week! A big thank you to Gwinnett County for hosting!

We will have a guest speaker coming – John from Mayer Johnson is coming to talk about the huge new changes that are coming for Boardmaker – as they may affect how we make purchases for next year.

GCA will be smack in the middle of the final portion of our DOE monitoring, so there is a chance that I will not be able to attend – I know you are all so very sad J … Brad Held has agreed to facilitate the meeting in my absence. Attached is the Agenda as we finalized at the last meeting.

Directions: Instructional Support Center ISC - 437 Old Peachtree Road, NW, Building 200 Suwanee, GA 30024-2978 Office: 678-301-7153

I have also been told there is an in house café for lunch options that is pretty yummy if anyone wants to partake of that as a lunch option.

Hope to see everyone Wednesday! Katie
