MEETING STUDENT NEEDS WITH ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY

INSTRUCTORS: Bonnie Mularski, Education Consultant
GRADE LEVEL: K-12
CREDIT: 2 or 3
 

What can you do for a student who is struggling in your classroom?  What can you provide to help them keep up with their peers?  This class will help both regular and special education teachers explore the field of assistive technology and identify ways to help struggling students achieve in the classroom.  Course participants will learn the legal requirements of public schools for the provision of assistive technology.  Best practices in assistive technology will be examined and factors contributing to the successful use of assistive technology devices and tools will be identified.

Come and explore hardware and software products designed to assist students to be successful.  Teachers in this hands-on class will explore a variety of products designed to provide accommodations or adaptations for people with disabilities.  Boardmaker, AlphaSmarts, Kurzweil, and word prediction programs featured in Word are just a few of the technologies available in this class.
