Overview:
Are you still delivering AT services the way you did two decades ago because “we’ve always done it that way?” Are you building capacity to reach more staff and students? In this digital age, the tools and strategies for collaboration have changed. Given the emphasis on accommodations for students with disabilities and the move toward UDL to infuse technology for all students, you probably are being asked to do more for more students. This session will examine new ways of maximizing AT support using available digital tools to increase the efficiency of AT consideration and professional learning. This session will prompt you to re-examine how you deliver AT services.
