Those new to AEM should start with the About AEM section, which contains introductory materials such as quick start guides organized by audience. Parents and educators should check out the Supporting Learners section, where they will find information organized by age group, beginning with early learning and ranging through workforce development resources for adults, as well as a directory of AEM contacts for each state. Additionally, the Navigating AEM section provides helpful overviews of the many AEM options available.

The AEM Center is led by the Center for Applied Special Technology, an independent, nonprofit education research and development organization in Massachusetts that focuses on Universal Design for Learning.
