Abstract	This article describes several stages in the integration of assistive technology (AT) into and across the curriculum of a teacher education program. The multi-year initiative included several projects and strategies that differentially affected faculty ability to integrate training and evaluation in using AT in their coursework. All strategies increased faculty familiarity and comfort with AT. However, only video tutorials resulted in faculty infusion of AT in their courses. Implications for teacher preparation programs, including the need to infuse assistive technology within and across coursework are discussed. (Contains 3 tables.) (As Provided).
