CET supports preK-12 education in Greater Cincinnati in many ways.
In cooperation with the Southwestern Ohio Special Educational Regional
Resource Center, CET is using CETconnect.org and videoconferencing as
a means of both training and consulting for special needs teachers, to
introduce them to new technologies and methods of teaching using
assistive technology. Through generous funding from eTech Ohio,
this overview of assistive technology aims to provide a primer for
teachers of all students and those with special needs, including but
not limited to the 200 lowest-wealth districts in Ohio.
