4/18 FET Presentation: "Assistive Technology - What is it?"
Friday, 06 April 2012 15:36

On 4/18 at 6pm, you are invited to an Advocates Family Education and Training Presentation to be held at the Advocates Fayetteville Office (300 South Manlius Street, Fayetteville)

Assistive Technology - What is it?

Assistive technology enables children with disabilities to participate more fully in all aspects of life (home, school and community) and helps them access their right to a free appropriate, public education in the least restrictive environment.  How does an IEP team decide what device is right for your child?  Who provides the technical training for the use of the device?  Should you expect to use it at home?  Bring your experiences and IEPs to this session when we'll discuss ways you can establish a home-school dialogue for the assessment, selection and systematic use of assistive communication devices.

Presented by:

Cheli Paetow - Inclusion and Communication Facilitator
