Welcome to the Emphasis in Assistive Technology home page. The Department of Special Education offers a Specialist in Education Degree with an emphasis in assistive technology (AT). This emphasis was created because of the growing need for AT specialists throughout the country. Individuals with disabilities are benefiting from the use of AT in ever greater numbers but many more professionals are needed to assess needs, match AT to those needs, and help individuals, families, and educational professionals implement AT effectively. The emphasis in AT at UNLV was created at the Educational Specialist level because so many professionals who wish to specialize in AT come to us with Master's degrees in related fields. Importantly, the coursework for this degree is delivered online via WebCT, a web-based classroom. This allows working professionals to access course content and activities anytime and anywhere. The information on this page should help you learn more about the degree and the application process. As coordinator of the emphasis in assistive technology, I would be happy to discuss the AT emphasis with you and help you decide if this is the right degree for you. Sincerely,
