Synopsis:
This playful yet professional book is designed to help educators select, acquire and implement technology to help all students, but especially those with special needs.
School districts often struggle to develop consistent practices for meeting the needs of special education students. With this book, you’ll learn how embracing student-centered approaches like project-based learning and growth mindset works to support students with disabilities. You’ll get guidance on how to plan and execute educational experiences using technology centered around the needs of students with disabilities. And you’ll learn how to effectively and consistently consider and select technological supports based on the specific needs of an individual student with a disability.
This book:
- Details how an educational team can request assistance to determine technology needs.
- Explains how to conduct and document assessments to help an educational team make informed decisions about technology needs.
- Describes a proactive approach to professional development for individuals and for those who train others on the use of technology.
- Assists individuals or teams in creating an action plan for developing a culture of inclusion.
- Interweaves stories, songs and other exciting features to make learning fun!
The New Assistive Tech is a catalyst for breaking down walls between special education and general education, and will help all educators realize they have tech knowledge (and can build upon that knowledge) that can be used to support students with disabilities.
Audience: K-12 educators
