Assistive Technology Consultants support teams in the identification, selection, and implementation of a wide range of assistive technology tools. Knowledge of these rapidly changing tools and features is a foundational competency for AT consultants. This event will provide intermediate unit and local educational agency AT consultants with opportunities to share and learn features for AT tools in reading and writing, environmental control and alternative access, blindness and low vision, and augmentative/alternative communication (AAC). Overview sessions highlighting current AT features in each of these areas will be followed by intermediate and advanced-level breakout sessions to address specific implementation and training needs, and the development of training resources around those features. Discussions will focus on implementation of AT with continual student progress in mind, as well as an overview of new and proposed Short Term Loan items to assist teams in AT decision-making. |
