Federal legislation related to assistive technology falls under three categories: civil rights laws, educational laws, and technology laws. Key laws discussed include the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Technology-Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability, while the Tech Act and IDEA aim to increase access to assistive technologies in education and daily living for individuals with disabilities.

This "digital show program" was for the Ivy Players' theatre production of Jane Martin's romantic comedy, "Jack and Jill." Due to cast turnaround and an effort to green campus activities, I opted to create this digital program in lieu of paper versions. This had the added benefit of highlighting Psi Iota Xi Auditorium's technology (large screen and digital projector) and its potential as a rented space for theatre companies and event coordinators.
The flyer (first slide) was designed by an Ivy Tech student, as part of the Ivy Players' effort to create gradable material for professors outside of the theatre discipline. The flyer represents one of 15 created by a class in Graphic Design.
Psi Iota Xi Auditorium was renovated in 2010. Photographs, unless otherwise noted, are my own or in the public domain. Other materials are provided courtesy of Ivy Tech Office of Marketing and Communications, Kokomo Region.
Universal Design is a design process - not a checklist of design solutions or mere compliance with legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
21. 1994 – Technology-Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities Act Amendments of 1994 (P.L. 103-218)
22. 1988 – The Technology-Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities (P.L. 100 -407)Technology Legislation
23. AT Law This course will focus on these laws Americans with Disabilities Act (PL 101-336) Tech Act (PL 100-407) IDEA Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
24. Americans with Disabilities Act (PL 101-336) Known as “ADA” Signed into law in 1990. It had broadened the types of agencies covered by Section 508 requirements and mandates items such as communication systems. The act states there is a “need for persons who are aware of technological modifications, so they can teach others about technology awareness and provide consultation for people with disabilities.
25.
26. this law defines a disability broadly as someone with an impairment that significantly limit one or more life activates. This can include:
31. But applies to public and private sectors such as libraries, state and local governments, restaurants, hotels, transportation systems, and stores.ADA
32.
33. Ada also requires that employers do not discriminate against hiring an individual with a disability.
34. ada also ensures that buildings are fully accessible for people with disabilities using the following:
38. Tech Act (PL 100-407) Signed into law in 1988 and was amended in 1994. The main purpose of this act was to provide financial assistance to the states so that they are able to conduct the necessary assessments, identify technology resources, and provide assistive technology services, and conduct public awareness programs. The act also states that persons must “provide a variety of technical assistance to children (and adults) with disabilities and their parents and guardians. Also, provide services such as evaluate, purchase, lease, design, fabricate, training, technological assistance to persons who use assistive technology.
39.
40. Provides funding to develop statewide, consumer-responsive information and training systems designed to meet the assistive technology needs of individuals with disabilities.
42. Increase awareness of the needs of individuals with disabilities for assistive technology devices and services
43. Increase awareness of policies and procedures that facilitate or impede the acquisition of assistive technology
44. Improve the availability of and funding for assistive technology
45. Expand the knowledge of efficient applications of assistive technology devices and services
46.
47. Tech Act Congress noted eight findings within P.L. 100-407: 5. The use of assistive technology devices and services by individuals with disabilities can reduce the costs of disabilities. 6. Many individuals with disabilities do not have access to the assistive technology devices and services needed to allow such individuals to function in society commensurate with their abilities 7. There are insufficient incentives for commercial pursuit of the application of technology devices because of the limited markets. 8. At the federal level, there is a lack of coordination among agencies that provide or pay for the provision of assistive technology.
50. The amendments require states to perform six specific systems change and advocacy activities:develop and monitor policies and procedures that will improve access to and funding for assistive technology devices and services. develop and implement strategies to overcome funding barriers, with particular emphasis on overcoming barriers for underrepresented and rural populations. coordinate activities among state agencies to increase access to, provision of, and funding for assistive technology devices and services.
51.
52. IDEA Authorizes that “assistive technology needs of all students be considered although assistive technologies are frequently though to be relevant for children with physical disabilities, sensory/health impairments, and communication disabilities.” Assistive technology should be considered for the above, but not limited to the above disabilities, students who have learning disabilities may also be in need of assistive technology. (PL105-17, Section 1414 (d) (3) (B) (v)).
53. IDEA There are several principles that were passed with IDEA: Zero Reject Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) Nondiscriminatory Evaluation Parent and Family right to confidentiality Procedural Safeguards
54. Zero Reject Entitles that all students with disabilities, even those in private schools to a free public education regardless of the nature or severity of their disability. In order to accomplish this, states have in place a child find system. Child find system – a set of procedures for alerting the public to services that are available for students with disabilities.
55. FAPE All students with disabilities are entitled to a free and appropriate education This means that parents can not be asked to pay for special education services FAPE also clarifies that each student’s education must include Special education through specially designed instruction Related services Supplementary aides and services These elements are found in the Individual education program (IEP)
56. Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) Student must be in the educational setting most like that of typical peers to ensure success with the needed supports and services. These educational settings can include: General education all day General education ½ day Separate classroom Separate school
57. Nondiscriminatory Evaluation Rights of students and parents to ensure that any assessment completed by Special Ed. is unbiased. This law ensures: Test are administered in their native language Tests are appropriate for child’s age and characteristics. A knowledgeable professional administers the test and reviews the results Assessment occurs in all areas of the disability (IE. Intelligence test, reading test, range of motion)
58. Parent and Family Right to Confidentiality Information regarding the student needs to remain confidential Parents have the right to view and obtain copies of any records regarding their child with a disability. Also once records are no longer needed – a procedure must be in place to destroy the records.
59. Procedural Safeguards Parents must be given the procedural safeguards. These include a full explanation of all of the rights available to parents of a child with a disability ages 3-21 when their child has been referred for or is receiving special education services. Teachers are required to have parents sign a statement in the IEP that they have received the Procedural Safeguards. Parents may have multiple copies at home and may prefer not to take another.
60.
61. This law is the first civil rights legislation in the US designed to protect those with disabilities.
62. This law broadly defines an individual with a disability as someone with an impairment that significantly limit one or more life activates. This can include:
67. This law also protects from discrimination from federal funding including public schools. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
68.
69. A student can be served under section 504 if they are an average student with diabetes. This law requires the school district to ensure that school professional understand the student's needs, access to all is medical needs, and student is required to use the restroom.Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
