The APTE Team

APTE's guiding principle is the belief that play inspires and nurtures the mind and spirit, and the conviction that learning technology, like play, can stretch the imagination and ignite creative talents.

The educators who founded APTE in 1990 were committed to creating visual learning products for children with disabilities. Once the project was launched, it became clear that all children use educational software in much the same way. The intensity and speed might vary, but not the learning benefits that are derived from well designed software programs.

Since it's founding, APTE has created numerous award-winning and innovative visual thinking programs for both children and adults. The APTE development team has taken advantage of the enormous changes and improvements in technology to build continually better products. But one thing that stays constant is APTE's commitment to providing children with superior visual learning and play materials.

Today, thousands of schools use APTE's visual learning materials, special education products, and math and science games to inspire and educate their students. APTE's entertainment products are sold in stores around the world. APTE software is also bundled with many of the most popular kid's digital cameras and kid's video cameras and student digital microscopes. The numerous awards received by APTE's products attest to the success of bringing the joy of visual learning to everyone, regardless of their age or disability.
