 * [[image:JuliaFoster_ABELpicture.jpg]] || Julia is the coordinator for the online resource known as the [|Special Needs Opportunity Window] (or SNOW) project. SNOW is the branch of the [|Inclusive Design Research Centre] at [|OCAD University] that focuses on inclusive education and learning. Our goal is to provide information and training for educators, parents and students with disabilities on technologies for learning both in and out of the classroom as well as promote understanding of inclusive practices. SNOW's resources are free whenever possible and SNOW focuses on providing open source tools that can be adapted and used freely.

Within the IDRC, Julia also works as an occupational therapist and [|ADP] authorizer for high tech visual aids specializing in assessing and prescribing assistive technology for individuals with low vision and blindness, including those who also have a physical and/or cognitive diagnosis. Outside of the IDRC, Julia Foster works as an occupational therapist at Prism Medical, where she develops course content and facilitates workshops that aim to equip health care professionals with the skills to safely transfer and reposition clients with physical limitations. ||
