This year the  GSAT CONFERENCE is going VIRTUAL and WE WANT YOU TO BE THERE!

The Guam System for Assistive Technology (GSAT) is a program under the Guam Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research and Service (CEDDERS), and it is our mission to help individuals with disabilities meet their Assistive Technology needs and increase their quality of life.  This year’s theme is “Creating Opportunities in a Changing World.” The heightened health concerns brought about by the current pandemic has changed the way we approach life.  Achieving accessibility and staying connected to be more inclusive in employment, school and community is needed in this digital age.

Assistive technology can also be inexpensive. There are low tech tech solutions for a variety of needs.  This year we are honored to have two astounding speakers that will be presenting during the conference.
