Coming February 1, 2026
The Access Technology Trainers Forum
The Access Technology Trainers Forum is a professional community written by access technology trainers, for access technology trainers.
The forum brings tools, training, and discussion into one trainer-focused hub. These are tools trainers have asked for and needed for years.
Members track student progress, assess training sessions, manage course catalogs, and publish a public trainer profile to create or enhance their web presence.
Members meet live each month in three Zoom sessions:
- one pedagogical or technical lesson
- one community meeting
- one lesson review follow-up
Member-curated databases share computer skills, screen reader skills, help documentation, and more.
A discussion forum supports questions, feature requests, and shared insights.
A Discord server supports real-time discussion, troubleshooting, and quick insights.
A Trainers Toolkit provides forms and views to track students, case managers, billing addresses, course catalogs, and more.
Members generate complete attendance reports, manage course enrollment, and assess training sessions. Additional tools are in production, including quotes, invoicing, progress reports, and lesson design. New tools are added on a regular basis.
This community forum develops with direct trainer input. All web design and programming is done in-house. This guarantees accessibility, continuity, and timely implementation of changes and new features.
Forum membership opens February 1, 2026.
February meetings are held on Thursdays: February 12, 19, and 26.
Stay current on forum development through the Trainer Forum Digest newsletter.
