January 22, 2025 8:30 AM - January 22, 2025 3:30 PM

This session focuses on the following principles of Active Learning: Implementation: When you have completed this session you should be able to: Discuss basic implementation strategies for using an Active Learning approach in school, home and community environments. Suggest activities and environments that match the learner’s developmental level, needs and preferences and can help a learner to develop motor skills such as grasp, reach, balance, independent sitting, standing, and walking using Active Learning equipment and activities. Equipment: Learn how to use various pieces of equipment (both things you buy and things you can make) with each student to meet his/her needs in developing motor, cognitive, social, emotional and perceptual skills. Active Learning is an instructional approach developed by Dr. Lilli Nielsen of Denmark. It is an instructional strategy for individuals who are blind, visually impaired, deaf/blind, developmentally functioning below 48 months old regardless of chronological age, and learners with significant physical, cognitive, and emotional delays. Individuals with multiple disabilities (including cerebral palsy, visual impairment, cognitive impairment, autism, hearing impairment, etc.) are at great risk from developing reliance on others to interact with the world around them. Active Learning recognizes that every child/adult with special needs is unique and emphasizes simple ways to change the environment so that a child becomes an active participant and an engaged learner.

April 25, 2025 8:30 AM - April 25, 2025 11:30 AM

This is part 4 of a 4 part series. In his book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics Grades K-12, author Peter Liljedahl describes 14 structures as “institutional norms–norms that have not changed since the inception of an industrial-age model” that shape students’ behavior from the early years of education (Liljedahl, 2021). At the heart of Liljedahl’s vision lies the concept of the “Thinking Classroom” – a dynamic ecosystem where mathematical discourse thrives and students engage in productive struggle. It’s not just a set of strategies. It’s a comprehensive approach to building a classroom environment where thinking takes center stage. Each session will highlight different strategies from Peter's book. All participants will receive a book at the first session they attend.

Our ESC Collaboration has been putting Texas school-based SLPs first since 2012. We offer top quality webinars with highly respected presenters in the field of communication. Our interactive webinar series has proven to be an excellent source of continuing education for speech-language pathologists and other school staff. Join us in learning all year long through eleven exceptional online opportunities. Reinforce your current knowledge and add new tools to your tool box. In collaboration with ALL twenty Education Service Centers, we deliver highly relevant topics that impact SLPs every day; all conveniently accessed from your location. Writing, beyond handwriting, is a complex communication process that is learned and shaped over time. It involves the use of text and allows for improved self-expression, increased independence, and active participation in the community. It is an expected outcome of our current education system yet many students with disabilities, especially those with complex communication needs, have limited access to writing tools, writing opportunities, and writing expectations. This session will highlight the importance of including access to the letters of the alphabet in combination with other symbol sets when developing communication systems, highlight alternative writing tools, and it will provide simple strategies that can be applied early and across settings to promote long-term writing expectations and writing habits to support communication.
