SET-BC

SET-BC was established in 1989 by the Inclusive Education Branch of the BC Ministry of Education to provide assistive technology services for students living with physical disabilities. We were born out of widespread recognition that technology could empower students with complex needs to participate more actively in their education and participate in standard curriculums.
