Session Open ONLY to Region One Educators
AbleNet offers two programs designed to help districts provide the tools that students with significant disabilities in low incidence, ASD/ID, and ECSE classrooms need to be successful. The first program focuses on providing customizable AT solutions for self-contained classrooms, bundled with support so that the teacher, therapist, and para-educator is successful with implementation. The second program offers districts, the opportunity to obtain free speech generating devices for their students with speech/communication disorders. Come learn how these programs can help change outcomes for your students and build capacity in your district.
Participants will learn:
1. about a professional resource that enables administrators to create accessible classrooms and build capacity of staff supporting low incidence, autism, or PreK classrooms.
2. about a free service designed to provide insurance funded speech generating devices for their students.
