Raymond T. Heipp, Ph.D.

Dr. Heipp began working with those with differing abilities in 1979. Over his time in the classroom, he served both our special needs students and our typical students. As a teacher, coach, program designer and director, and administrator, he spent the better part of three decades in our schools. He transitioned into consulting and presenting on a wide variety of educational technologies. As Director of Assistive and Educational Technologies for Westminster Technologies, he has become recognized as an expert in the integration of multiple types of technology into classrooms and daily life, including the NAO Robot. He continues to consult with groups as to how to augment their programs for those with differing abilities. He brings a different perspective to groups as not only has he served in the above mentioned capacities, but he is also a parent of a teenager with autism. He firmly believes that everyone has a wonderful contribution to make to this world and will continue to work to make sure those contributions can occur!
