CATT Cast #4: PNW-AER 2026 ft. Janet George and Garrett Whitmyre

What Is AER (PNW) & Why TVIs Need It: Family Engagement, Collaboration, and Access Arcade. In episode four of the CATT Cast, host Heather from CATT Northwest spotlights two voices from the 2026 Pacific Northwest AER spring conference, themed “Kaleidoscope of Collaboration,” and explains AER as the Association for Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired. Guest Janet George (DSB) describes AER as a professional space for connection, networking, and sharing information, and shares key takeaways from her session on strengthening family engagement through the Expanded Core Curriculum: TVIs aren’t alone, agencies and schools can collaborate, and families must be active partners. She also summarizes her closing keynote about teachers’ powerful impact, high expectations, and serving as a bridge between students and parents. Guest Garrett Whitmyre, PNW AER president, explains how conferences break down TVI “silos,” reduce isolation, and recharge educators, and he discusses his Access Arcade presentation—an inclusive gaming platform for students using adaptive switches—created to increase meaningful participation and agency for students with multiple disabilities.
