This full day institute will include a workshop that provides hands-on training on Assistive Technology.
Assistive technology is designed to provide students with the support they need to access information and successfully express what they understand about course content, but it is crucial for educators to know which technologies work best for students with LD or AD/HD and how to help students utilize this technology. This session introduces assistive technology solutions that are available to support academic reading, writing, and study skills, along with guidance on how to match the appropriate technologies to the diverse student population. There will be a demonstration of several assistive technologies and participants will receive hands-on training on Kurzweil and Inspiration.
Intended audience:
Secondary and postsecondary educators, counselors, vocational rehabilitation specialists, and others who work with students with learning disabilities.
