Why Should I Become Certified?

Validate Knowledge
Assistive technology certification validates the broad based knowledge required as a foundation for safe and effective service in the assistive technology field.
Disability Service Provision
Assitive technology certification standards aim to enhance service provision to people with disabilities who are seeking technology applications to maximize their ability to function in their environment.
Quality Assurance
