Do you know a school who could benefit students by implementing award-winning pre-employment transition services to teach students work-ready & social skills?

You can help more students develop work-ready skills for our tech-driven and highly social workforce. Simply, complete the form on this page (in blue) and refer that school or service provider to Digitability!

Digitability was born out of advocacy, by a teacher who saw first hand how students with cognitive disabilities were being pigeonholed into unemployment. Digitability is changing the way special education students are being prepared for their independence. Students with cognitive disabilities need advocates like you to ensure they are receiving comprehensive transition services to truly develop the necessary skill base for our tech-driven and highly social workforce.

These types of skills can not be developed in a silo; and Digitability's award-winning pre-employment transition program is the only program that streamlines this training process, preparing students for a wide-range of jobs.

Teaching work-ready and social skills to students & providing professional development for teachers or coaches -- that is Digitability.

If you know of a school or organization that might be interested in learning more about Digitability, please use the form on the sidebar to refer them to Digitability so we can reach out on behalf of your advocacy.

What a teacher says about using Digitability in her high school autistic support classroom

If you'd like to know a little more about Digitability before using the advocacy referral form, this quick video takes you inside the Digitability classroom where students are learning tech, social and work-ready skills.

As you can see in the video, Digitability transforms the classroom into an 'economy' to simulate work and life situations which teach people with cognitive disabilities how to become independent.

You can advocate for your child too

Once you complete the form, a member of the Digitability team can reach out to you and your school's administrator so they can see a free demo of Digitability! We thank all of our parents for being the most important advocates for their children. By advocating for your child, you are advocating for students everywhere.

Digitability does this in a manner that keeps my child coming back for more! Plus, we can do it together, so I’m learning new skills too!"

Director of Special Projects, Union County Educational Services Commission

"The Digitability curriculum is uniquely suited for our programs serving transition-age students. It addresses prerequisite skills related to employability and independent living -- and all in the context of preparing our students to be responsible and informed digital citizens."
 
"I was extremely impressed by the quality of the professional development that was provided as part of the implementation of Digitability. Often training involving new online instructional platforms is too focused on the technical aspects of the software. Michele McKeone's approach to our PD session was instead focused on the successful delivery of the curriculum including modeling important practices such as differentiated instruction, prompting, and positive reinforcement. While my teacher learned how to facilitate Digitability, she was also exposed to a sound refresher covering key research-based approaches to teaching student with Autism and other special needs."

I also have a vested interest in ensuring that our students are fully equipped to live their lives fully and safely in this digital age. ... Digitability helps facilitate that inclusiveness for people of varied abilities, including those on the autism spectrum, in a way no other technology-based business does.

Digitability reminds me to use the correct terminology when teaching skill development.
