Jenny Kouo | CTE celebrates 40 years changing lives through knowledge that matters

CTE's Assistant Research Scientist Jenny Kouo explains how the EduNavigator AI project puts educators' needs first, and bridges the gap between research and the every day practice of supporting children with significant cognitive disabilities. The Center for Technology in Education (CTE) celebrates 40 years of transforming early childhood, special education, and education leadership. Founded in 1986 to advance assistive technology for children with disabilities, CTE has grown into a nationally recognized center serving educators, families, and state agencies across the country. Our solutions — from early online learning systems to Maryland’s statewide quality initiatives to data platforms that strengthen special education and leadership practice — improve outcomes for all children. Today, guided by both expertise and lived experience, we continue to expand research, advance AI-informed tools, and strengthen the systems that support children, families, and educators.
