Center for Applied Special Technology

The Center for Applied Special Technology, known as CAST, is an educational research and development organization based in Wakefield, Massachusetts.

Founded in 1984, CAST has earned international recognition for its innovative learning technologies, especially Bobby, the first widely used accessibility diagnostic tool for the World Wide Web, and WiggleWorks, the first universally designed literacy program for elementary school (K-2).

CAST is also known for articulating the principles of Universal Design for Learning, an educational framework to guide the design and implementation of curriculum that meet the needs of all learners, including those with disabilities.
