Our CEO Lindsay Jones was quoted in @EdSurge on a critical issue: as schools rush to restrict devices, students who rely on assistive technology risk being swept up in blanket policies never designed with them in mind. It's a nuanced conversation, and one worth having. Read the full piece: pulse.ly/gvrnywyljn
A quote on a light green background says, "When technology is built into systems we're all using, and we can use them together, it reduces the feeling that you're separate and different in a way that can be especially harmful." Below is a photo of a person smiling, circled in purple, with text: "Lindsay Jones, CEO, CAST." The logo of CAST and the tagline "Until Learning has no limits™" appear in the lower right corner.
