This webinar will address the basics when considering assistive technology (AT) into the Individual Education Plan (IEP) for students who are eligible for special education services in the public school setting. In this presentation, we will discuss the foundations of AT consideration and provide you with a process that can be used to consider whether or not a student with disabilities requires AT devices and services to receive a free, appropriate public education as required by law during the development of the student's Individualized Educational Program (IEP). We will closely look at four major steps in the process: Review present levels of performance and evaluation data; Develop goals and objectives; determine if any tasks are difficult or impossible for the student; and decide whether or not AT devices and services are required and document decisions.

Student Accommodations: The Role of Parents and Advocates - Webinar - March 14, 2012 - 0 views
-
Click here to register for this webinar What: This webinar addresses the frequently confusing topic of student accommodations. Specifically, the presentation reveals how ambiguous accommodations can be - and how to select appropriate accommodations for each individual. The goal of this webinar is to present a model that can be used collaboratively by advocates, parents, students, and teachers to identify unambiguous accommodations. Webinar participants will: Learn the legal bases for accommodations and their purpose. Explore examples of ambiguous accommodations, which might actually hinder, rather than support the individual. Apply the research-based Explicit Accommodations Model to select appropriate accommodations that are clear to all. Learn strategies to enhance clarity when reviewing accommodations during IEP meetings. In preparation for the webinar, participants are requested to consider the commonly used accommodation "preferential seating." If you chose this for a student's IEP, exactly where should next year's teacher seat this child? Time is provided for questions from participants.
