Learn about Assistive Technology and supports for ALL learners. All participants receive a Chromebook in order to master the tools / strategies discussed throughout the session. There are many myths about assistive technology (AT) in education. AT is all expensive. AT is complicated. AT Requires huge investments in staff time to implement. All untrue! In fact, many supports are built into the technology already in your schools. The registration fee for this MITI workshop includes the cost of the workshop AND the device. The specific Chromebook model selected and exact price will be posted in October on the conference website at www.nhcmtc.org. Through hands on learning experiences, participants will also explore AT tools and supports in the areas of reading, writing, executive function supports and communication. Presenter develops a customized web resource site that will support the learning during the session and provide a platform for continued networking after the session. Sponsored by NH State Department of Education - Bureau of Special Education Starting Friday, November 4, 2016, if you ALREADY have or want to order the required device on your own, you may register for this workshop as a BYOD for just the cost of the workshop, $110.
