A5-1: CATIS was developed to meet the needs of individuals with visual impairments for AT instruction. There’s no other certification that combines the AT knowledge base with vision studies as the primary focus (from catis-history bit.ly/2zRjArj) #ACVREP #ATIA19chat
Q5: So how does this CATIS certification differ from the previous? What is the new impact for the #assistivetech community? #ATIA19chat

A4-3: CATIS is both singular and plural. There is conversation around how to pronounce CATIS (as Cat-Iss or Cate-Iss). My reply is simply that I am happy that people are learning about the certification. This conversation means the news is spreading! #ACVREP #ATIA19chat
