Handouts during this training are available immediately as regular file documents and large print versions of these same documents. If presenters and Navigators are informed ahead of time, we can try to supply other alternative formats such as floppy disks, cd's, and audio versions. Handouts will also be available in your resource room's information kiosk for AT. Other documents that staff may want to access will be available online and by speaking with the Navigator of each One-Stop Center.
These training sessions are part of the AT grant, an establishment grant to facilitate training and resource development for the use of staff in State of Arizona One-Stop Centers and for vocational rehabilitation counselors of the Arizona RSA.
