Professional and Technical Assistance Services: CATIES serves the educational community by providing professional development and technical assistance. Its staff specializes in conducting hands-on workshops and providing technical assistance on using instructional and assistive technology to enhance teaching and learning, transitioning from high school, and for implementing strategies to support inclusive education practices.
