AEM Center Events
The AEM Center at CAST offers free technical assistance webinars and presentations at national convenings and conferences, with the goal of increasing the availability and use of accessible educational materials and technologies for learners with disabilities across the lifespan.
New to AEM Center events?
The AEM Center uses Zoom, which supports a number of keyboard shortcuts for accessibility. If this is your first time using Zoom, please learn more about joining a Zoom webinar and joining a Zoom meeting.
AEMing for Access
In this 30-minute series, the AEM center will bring educators together to talk about specific topics related to AEM. How are you approaching accessibility in your learning environment? Need some new ideas? Stuck on a challenge? Eager to share with others? Participants will leave with usable, bite-size information. Think of it like office hours with a focus on accessibility, accessible educational materials, accessible and assistive technologies!
Join us for our next episode on Thursday, December 19 at 1pm ET, "Integrating Academic, Social & Emotional Learning: An Introduction to Circle Up." We look forward to seeing you there!

Meet CAST’s team of friendly Technical Assistance Specialists at the AEM Café!
