Wyoming Teachers Look To Boost Effectiveness of Assistive Technologies

By Joshua Bolkan, THE Journal

Some teachers in Wyoming are learning how to better use assistive technologies thanks to a new program launched by the University of Wyoming’s (UW) Wyoming Institute for Disabilities (WIND). Dubbed Echo-University of Wyoming (Echo-UW), the initiative builds on the University of New Mexico’s Project Echo by focusing on “the use of technology to leverage scarce resources; improving outcomes by reducing variations in care and sharing ‘best practices’; case-based learning; and monitoring of outcomes,” according to a UW news release.
