The Alliance for Technology Access

The Alliance for Technology Access (ATA) is a network of community-based resource centers, developers, vendors, and associates dedicated to providing information and support services to children and adults with disabilities and increasing their use of standard, assistive, and information technologies.

ATA's website includes a number of online resources for families of children with disabilities, including accessible toys, planning for transition out of the school system and into the adult world, Assistive Technology in the K-12 school grades, employment, and more.

Excerpted from their Access Transition section:
"If you are teenager with a disability or receiving Special Education services, Access Transition was created to help you plan for what you will do after high school. The information here may help you and your family understand your rights and how to begin planning for a very important and exciting time in your life. It is intended to give you a basic understanding of the process and your rights and options. More detailed information on many topics may be found by following the links provided. These take you to other places in this document, other resources on our ATA site, and to other valuable web sites."
