FindMyFlow
FindMyFlow is a training web portal that combines resources on assistive technology and study skills for students to build effective study habits. This is achieved by completing a series of flows, each one addressing a particular skill.
We have worked with FindMyFlow to build a unique Getting AT Ready flow, that will provide you with a series of videos to watch from a range of assistive technology developers and manufacturers. The content is now available here.
