<p class="MsoNormal">Hello AT Coordinators,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Committee for Accessible Technology Oversight (CATO) now has a website that might be of interest to you. If you’re not familiar with CATO, I encourage you to read a little bit about it in these
<a href="http://bit.ly/cato188">talking points</a>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The website links to some of the work we’ve accomplished thus far (webinars, policy examples), and it also allows folks to ask questions about policies to the committee. – This is especially helpful as SBCTC does not have a designated person/office
to handle questions about these policies. We collect questions weekly and track down the appropriate people to respond. We then post the question and answer on the site so that others, with similar questions can have access to the response.
