Overview:
Educators continue to struggle with how to meet both the demands of academic standards and transition planning. These two responsibilities sometimes seem too difficult to manage. By applying the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), teachers can successfully reach students of all DisABILITIES and collect data that can support individual students in planning and reaching their academic and transition goals. In this session, participants will explore the principles of UDL and how to apply the principles to the transition process. They will also explore how technology can be used to support students as they become involved in their IEP planning and how it can support teachers as they present academic and transition concepts in the classroom.
Learning Objectives:
1) Participants will be able to identify three opportunities where they can discuss emergency preparedness with users of AT.
2) Participants will be able to identify three apps that can assist with emergency preparedness strategies for users of AT.
3) Participants will be able to list five items an AT user should keep in their emergency preparedness kit unique to the consumer's personal need.
