Acknowledgements We would like to thank the staff of the Wisconsin Assistive Technology Initiative both past and present who have always given over and above “the call of duty.” Their tireless efforts to help the educators throughout Wisconsin have always been an inspiration to me. They are responsible in so many ways for the information in this manual. We learn from them each time we are together. Whether they wrote an article, sent a handout, pointed out a new product, or simply shared a thought, they contributed immensely. There are so many others We also wish to thank. These are the people who have inspired us and from whom we continue to learn. They include Gayl Bowser, Linda Burkhart, Diana Carl, Patti King DeBaun, Denise DeCoste, Karen Erickson, Kelly Fonner, Bob Keller, David Koppenhaver, Jane Korsten, Michelle Lange, Susan Mistrett, Susan McCloskey, Caroline Musselwhite, Judith Sweeney, Richard Wanderman, Joy Zabala. There are many, many more. To all of you who take time to present at Closing the Gap, CSUN, ATIA, and TAM–Thank you! You make a difference. Many thanks to all of you, Penny R.
