Assistive Technology in the Education Landscape in 2026

This event is free to all Bett 2026 attendees and is aimed at providing UK educators with more information and helpful tips on how to effectively use assistive technology to empower learners.

We will be joined by some highly experience panellists and will host two sessions each with a different focus. The first will explore the use of assistive technology in the classroom and the second will focus on current UK policies around assistive technology.

With the new emphasis on assistive technology in education this is a great opportunity to discover more and gain practical insights about how you can use AT in education to benefit all users.
