and dramatic positive impact that thoughtfully selected assistive technology has on our
students. Universal Design and appropriate assistive technology level the playing field for
students of all ages in all settings. I hope to increase my understanding of this critical
educational imperative in our EDG 519 course. I am a relatively new employee at Cabrini
having started my position in March 2016. Prior to working at Cabrini, I served as an
elementary school Title 1 Reading Assistant in the Marple Newtown School District and a
Children's Reading Specialist at the Tredyffrin Public Library. I began Cabrini's Masters of
Education program in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment this summer. I care deeply
about education, life-long learning, and providing all learners with an equal opportunity to
thrive academically.
