Welcome to \u201cAdulting with AT<\/strong>,\u201d a blog series inspired by our recent webinar, “Your Future, Your Tools<\/em>: AT for the Road Ahead,”<\/em><\/a><\/strong> now available on the Ability Tools YouTube channel.<\/strong> Whether you\u2019re finishing high school, heading to college, or continuing your education in other ways, learning doesn\u2019t stop and neither does your need for the right support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this first post, we\u2019re diving into AT that helps with reading, writing, focus, organization, and more. These tools aren\u2019t just helpful, they\u2019re empowering, especially when you’re taking charge of your own learning as you transition into adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start Early, Advocate Strong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best tips we can give? Test out AT tools early<\/strong> and build a relationship with your Disability Services office<\/strong>. Many schools and colleges offer supports, but you\u2019ll need to speak up to access them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need a place to try out tools before committing? Ability Tools’ Device Lending and Demonstration Centers (DLDCs)<\/a><\/strong> allow you to borrow and demo AT, no need to guess what works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reading Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reading is more than decoding text. Whether you\u2019re managing eye fatigue, dyslexia, or attention challenges, these tools help present information in ways that make sense for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
