@SpotifyCares I work with individuals with disabilities who use various types of switches to navigate computers and tablets. Most often they use one switch to scan through options and a second switch to select the option they want. more info: https://t.co/5IDVu1VbSI and https://t.co/iNTqjmB0so

[Melissa Derr @MelissaEDerr]

@SpotifyCares is Spotify switch accessible? If so, where can resources be found?

A4: "Tools to reach goal #..." helps team see value of tool without being too intimidating #ATchat

@KerriHslp @VickiBostonSLP @KarenJan @JudithSchoonov1 @mmatp oo, I love this!

[Melissa Derr @MelissaEDerr]

A3:when schools add more technology PD is a must, not just give it to teachers, this will help with AT. But yes expert model enables #atchat

[Melissa Derr @MelissaEDerr]

would like to see AT considered for all IEPs & Ss. Use evals infrequently. Evals often prolong getting tools into Ss hands #atchat

@lrdichiara have used ipods or student phones with google forms to create indiv. positive behavior&strategies tracking forms #atchat

[Melissa Derr @MelissaEDerr]

A7: could be argued all IEP Ss could benefit from AT, having AT be a whole section on the IEP-maybe draw from SETT framework? #atchat

@alysstets thanks!!

[Melissa Derr @MelissaEDerr]

@Parker52315 we have this problem too, I haven't found a good solution yet #atchat

[Melissa Derr @MelissaEDerr]
