AI showed up everywhere at ATIA 2026 — but not as flashy demos. Instead, it emerged as embedded infrastructure in tools that support communication and learning. globalsymbols.com/news/ATIA%20... #ATIA2026 #AssistiveTech #AAC #AI

Thank you to the ATIA team for inviting CAST to host our CITES work at #ATIA2026.

See you next year!
A fidget spinner made from a CD, a marble, a bottle cap, & sparkly beaded stickers
Directions for making the fidget spinner in the first photo. Ingredients: CD, marble, bottle cap. Tools: glue gun, cup. Step 1: place CD shiny side down on the cup. 2: put marble in the hole in the center of the CD & glue it in place. 3: Turn CD over, position on cup, & glue bottle cap covering marble. 4: Remove spinner from cup, grasp bottle cap & spin!
More insights from #ATIA2026 coming as I gather my thoughts now that I’m home, but I went to Maker Day yesterday & made this gorgeous fidget spinner!
Knoster Model for Managing Complex Change with neon colors. Depicts anticipated outcomes without Vision, Skills, Incentives, Resources, Action Plan, and/or Data present. Confusion, Anxiety, Resistance, Frustration, False Starts, and/or No Proof is possible versus Successful Change.
You know we love a good Knoster Model conversation! The Inclusive 365 team attributed this model to drive how we can all be inclusive leaders and why we might experience confusion, anxiety, resistance, frustration, false starts, or no proof, rather than successful change. #ATIA2026 #AllMeansALL
Multiple access methods matter. AAC users with complex bodies need to communicate in various positions (ex: bed, wheelchair, gait trainer, stander, mat, car/bus, etc). Are they taking ownership of the access method of their choosing.? H. Gray & J. Stylianos #AllMeansALL #ATIA2026

"Supporting caregivers through coaching can help them gain confidence with using AAC, feel more connected and less isolated, and become informed partners with school/therapy teams." - Megan Stumpf #ATIA2026 #AllMeansALL #CoachingCaregivers
Amplifying student voices creates a sense of belonging and agency, promotes problem solving, increases engagement and motivation, and can ultimately yield deeper learning and achievement. #ATIA2026 #AllMeansALL #AACTEDTalks @ektedtech.bsky.social

A Google Sheets document showing the ATIA 2026 conference session schedule. The schedule is organized as a large grid, with columns representing rooms and venues (such as Anaheim, Atlanta, Boston, multiple Canary and Crystal rooms, Grand Ballrooms, and Los Angeles), and rows representing dates and time slots from January 28 to January 30, 2026, roughly from morning to late afternoon. Each cell contains a session title, covering topics such as assistive technology, AAC, accessibility, AI, education, employment, and inclusion. The sheet provides an overview of multiple parallel sessions across different rooms, allowing viewers to compare sessions by time and location.
