The document discusses assistive technology and inclusive practices to support students with disabilities. It describes Carter, a 6th grader with a learning disability, and the process of determining appropriate assistive technologies for his needs. This involves considering his challenges in reading, writing, organization and communication. It should involve consulting his IEP team and potentially additional evaluations. Effective assistive technologies can help with reading, writing, organization and communication skills if determined through a collaborative process.

E-learning can address the challenges of training and educating employees, partners, customers and citizens both with formal learning management systems and mashups of collaborative platforms, social media and content management tools. As this presentation will show, organizations may already have the tools they need to develop e-learning initiatives - they can focus on targeting, creating and delivering learning content instead.

A presentation from Alistair McNaught of Techdis, comparing the benefits and barriers created by m-Learning with the benefits and barriers inherent in a traditional learning experience it is possible to evaluate the best approach for a particular group of learners.

Editor's Notes
The case study would be via a Word document as well and here they would be given enough information whereby AT/IT should be part of the solution and they will list the types of AT/IT that they think would be appropriate to meet the needs of the student. So, we would provide them a list where they would fill in the devices that could be used for the student.
OK, You Know this information We have been required since 1997 The numbers indicate we are not there…we have a long way to go to connect the possibilities with the needs. Example – district of about 10,000 students – 1500 have IEPs – One AT person and an essential Team
We have some good practices We are advancing However, the finds suggest we are not meeting the needs of all students with IEPs and actually, meeting very few.
Give reference to the Word Document that we will provide that will share links to these resources.
AT/IT Consideration integrated within IEP Process Good/Bad how we perceive IEP focus and energy – negative energy my take on the IEP MAP Plan three week visits regular communication teacher tutors Nolan Structure for AT/IT consideration fraught with problems One person considered expert – for 1500 IEPs One person or team Related Service focused and limited in understanding Lack of time in consideration with everything else they have on their list of things to do. If process not followed or short cuts followed – lead to abandonment this is the tech we have available – square peg for circle hole
Families and AT Cultural diversity EC and Family Issues Not integrating family work - Beach Center and Family Focused Knowledge-to-Action Guide Expereicne-based knowledge Disability specific and families with AT/IT Also make the point that we need to expand our focus here and further our work
Stop and reinforce what tech can do Not a luxury but essential Unique to the individual and not group-based
The idea here is to illustrate to the audience what is possible and why we should be considering AT/IT for the student.
Context Represents what they know and connect to what we are trying to teach Kerpoof – Story Mapping – Story Book Weaver
Make the point that this will be discussed later in the week UDL and technology go hand in hand
Make point that within this framework educators are focused on: Data through progress monitoring EBP to ensure what they are doing is effective tiers thus flexible but also across professionals
Make the point teir-based is how SpEd is re-conceptualizing self How districts are seeing special ed How states aare re-conceptualizing GenEd and SpEd KS and IL
