CT AEM Survey

The information provided will be used to inform the State Department of Education (SDE) on how to better serve and support schools and districts in regard to both the use of AEM for all students with disabilities and NIMAS/NIMAC (the National Instructional Material Accessibility Standard/National Instructional Material Accessibility Center) for those identified for specific formats.
