- W2564931538 abstract "[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Assistive and accessible technology can help students with special needs overcome a wide variety of challenges. Nonverbal students can communicate using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technology; students with physical disabilities can take advantage of special keyboards and monitors; and the accessibility features of Apple iPads and Google Apps for M Education can helps students with learning disabilities or other challenges. Although some tech-sawy teachers are confident figuring out these technologies on their own, many others need training on how to implement assistive and accessible technology effectively to benefit their students. In some cases, formal training is available, but for time-strapped teachers and cash-strapped districts, attending a course or conference might not be an option. Fortunately, when it comes to technology-related professional development for teachers of students with special needs, a wide variety of options are available. Statewide Initiatives Teachers in the state of Indiana have access to a one-stop shop for all of their assistive and accessible technology needs. The PATINS Project is a statewide initiative that helps public K.-12 schools in the state of Indiana increase accessibility of curriculum for all students. They loan assistive technology and accessible materials and provide universal design for learning (UDL) and professional development services to districts at no charge. The PATINS Project sometimes hosts traditional training events at schools, where state director Daniel McNulty or one of his staff members gives a presentation on a particular topic to group of educators and other professionals. However, McNulty said they are trying to get away from that lecture style of training and are putting more emphasis on individualized training in the classroom, where a member of the PATINS Project visits a classroom in person and provides suggestions based on their observations and conversations with the teacher. want our efforts to be on quality rather than quantity, said McNulty. So when we go into the classroom, it tends to be because there may be one or two difficult situations in that classroom where the teacher just can't figure out a solution and it's hard to describe over an e-mail. In other cases, a teacher might call them up for help because the school just dropped off 15 iPads in the classroom, and the teacher doesn't have any training on how to use them. McNulty or another staff member can then go into the classroom and show the teacher how to enable the accessibility features of the iPad and add or create content for it, and they can suggest specific apps for particular students with special needs. So it looks like working with the teacher and the students at the same time, or just working with the students sometimes and sort of modeling some things for the teacher, said McNulty. In addition to traditional training events and individualized classroom training, the PATINS Project also hosts between two and four big statewide assistive technology conferences each year, as well as online training, webinars and recorded video tutorials. Recently, however, McNulty hired a new stalf member for outreach and social media. It's her job to try to find those teachers who need their help but aren't necessarily coming to PATINS for help, and she's also responsible for the project's various social media outlets, including Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube and iTunes, and the team is planning to start hosting monthly Twitter chats in the near future. Social Media Social media has become an important professional development resource for teachers of students with special needs. Sharon Alterman, a special education teacher at the Charms Collaborative in Stoughton, MA, turns to Twitter to find out about new technology tools for her classroom. That's where I find out about tools and technology, she said. …" @default.
