Upon completion participants will be able to perform an initial feature matching survey of AT needs and/or supports for students. Demonstrate understanding of the polices, processes, resources and practices to support appropriate use of AT so that students can access the general education curriculum (CCSS) including online learning modalities including statewide testing. Demonstrate understanding of AT methods to identify student accommodation needs, how to document those needs in the IEP/504 (and the Personal Needs Profile {PNP}) , and how to use accommodations to access daily classroom instruction.
This project will be delivered via four hands on lab based meetings: two are after school from 4 to 6 PM and two are on Saturdays from 9 to noon. There is an expectation that ALL assigned homework must be completed so that all F2F laboratory experiences are maximized for individual learning and any administrative or overview information is completed online on your independently scheduled time.
