The grant to the Community Technology Centers' Network (CTCNet) is part of a three-year AccessAll initiative by AT&T to provide technology access to underserved communities. It will be used to fund training for community technology center staff on universal design and assistive technology that can be used to accommodate multiple learning styles and abilities. CTCNet will make the AT&T funds available to regional centers through a competitive application process.
