ASET 2026 is taking shape!
Our sessions and presenters have been thoughtfully selected, bringing together educators, system leaders, clinicians, and innovators from across assistive technology, accessibility, and inclusive education.
This year’s program reflects both current classroom realities and emerging possibilities — grounded in practice, informed by research, and responsive to diverse learners across K–12 and beyond.
Have a peek at this year's conference agenda ➡️ ➡️ ➡️
ASET 2026 sessions explore themes such as:
AI and Assistive Technology in Action
Practical uses of tools like Gemini, Copilot, Canvas, and AI-powered workflows to support differentiation, accessibility, planning, assessment, and student independence.
Inclusive Design & Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Designing learning environments, digital content, and classroom routines that reduce barriers, normalize access, and support all learners from the start.
Literacy, Communication, and AAC
Supporting reading, writing, communication, and language development through accessible formats, AAC best practices, and evidence-based strategies.
Blind & Low Vision Accessibility
Tools, workflows, and AI-supported strategies that expand access to complex texts, images, diagrams, and learning materials — across classroom and system contexts.
Mental Health, Well-Being, and Executive Functioning
Assistive technology approaches that support focus, regulation, organization, transitions, and well-being for students — and educators.
Transitions, Independence, and Self-Advocacy
Supporting learners as they move between grades, programs, and post-secondary pathways using technology to build confidence and autonomy.
Presentation day is Friday, April 17th 2026
ASET has been proud to offer a yearly venue to share the vast knowledge and talents of our Ontario educators and colleagues. Indeed, most participants agree that the breakout sessions are the highlight of the event. We look for quality presentations on diverse topics of interest to educators such as special education, assistive technology and/or educational technology as "Necessary to some/good for all".
NOTE: Workshop sessions are intended to be 75 min long (1 hour, plus 15 minutes for questions)
