If your U.S. school district is making strong efforts to creatively educate disabled students per their IEPs, can you provide the district name and location below?
(Links appreciated good if you have them.)
Actually I’m interested in ANY efforts, even if they stink.
@KarenJan Nooo. Again I’ve seen this. A school doesn’t have an at specialist but oh it’s technology give it to IT. This can do more harm then good as students won’t get needed AT and fall behind or need additional support from teachers and para’s. #atchat
A6. I mean I go back and forth on this. I think for me showing you have some AT experience is important and how that’s done isn’t standard. I know for me I don’t have a degree but got my Resna atp to show a competency. #atchat
A5. I think updating the at laws for idea and the tech act is important but the most important thing that can be added to any law is funding sources. Local schools often forgo AT due to cost. Particularly rural areas I’ve worked in #atchat
A1. Not every student on an iep needs a full evaluation but having a checklist or questions to evaluate if they are a candidate at the iep meetings is important. #atchat
Loves! I sat down w/ the funny af @thesteveway. You've probably seen him alongside his bff @ramy on Hulu. So, Steve has a rare form of muscular dystrophy and has been fighting for caregiver hours so he can live alone. He's been told he is "not disabled enough"...
