Step Up AT
Step Up AT is a pioneering program dedicated to enhancing early literacy outcomes for young children aged 3 to 5 with disabilities, including those with language-based learning disabilities and developmental delays. The program focuses on equipping educators, teacher assistants, and support specialists with essential skills to implement evidence-based assistive technology (AT) practices effectively. By fostering collaboration among teachers, parents, and educational institutions, Step Up AT aims to bridge the gap in early childhood education where AT use is often undertrained. Through customizable coaching and professional development opportunities, the program empowers educators to utilize both physical and electronic tools—ranging from simple adaptations like page-turners to advanced devices such as AAC apps—to facilitate learning engagement for children. What sets Step Up AT apart is its commitment to serving culturally and linguistically diverse communities by partnering with both public and private early childhood centers that cater to children with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). The program not only emphasizes a low student-teacher ratio but also promotes strong family partnerships, ensuring that every child has the support they need to thrive academically and socially.
