More Module Fun!

I wanted to break down each of the modules that I briefly discussed in the last post.  The last post was for you to find them, check them out, and here is where I can give you more of a summary...

Module Name	What did I learn?	How will this help as a teacher?
AT Assessment Process in the School	AT devices must be considered for all students holding an IEP. Decisions based on type of technology will be made with IEP goals in mind. A team will conduct tests to decide on device, when implemented, and how it is used.  This will be presented to the IEP team to complete the student’s IEP.	Nice to know the steps in a process like this. Will allow me to work with the IEP team to hopefully speed up any process to help my student gain access to an AT device sooner.
AT Consideration in the IEP Process	Who is involved. What is required. What to do if AT device is currently used – still add to IEP.	In majority of classes there are students with IEPs.  It is important to understand this process (especially when and how to choose devices).
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)	Very inexpensive. Can be used with most students – just takes time.	Great to have knowledge about for students will may have speech or writing difficulties.
