I recommend that you consider which certifications are well-regarded in
the industry. You could do this by finding accomplished professionals
and interviewing them, or by finding postings for jobs of interest and
noting what they're looking for.

These pages might be worth a look.

As I was aiming to major in Computer Science at one time but at the end decided against it for various reasons, I did take a variety of Computer Science classes and have some experience with that. I am also familiar with various assistive technology products out there whether because I use them myself or have had exposure to them.

Since I don&#8217;t have a Computer Science degree or anything related to assistive technology, I was thinking of possibly getting a certificate in assistive technology instruction. I have heard about and briefly looked into the program at Lions World in

If not, what other advice might you have for me? My plan of action for now is to pursue the assistive technology career path, but find a job in clerical or administration/office work if only to have a job at this point and make money.
