SUMMARY:MonTECH: Implementing AAC Everywhere: on the Playground\, in the Lunch Room\, and in the Arts
DESCRIPTION:A student’s AAC should go everywhere the student goes\, but practically speaking\, this can be difficult. This session will explore how AAC can be used to support students with a variety of needs across environments throughout the school day. We will discuss how universal design encourages accessible communication for all students. Examples will be provided for how educators can support multiple modes of communication across settings. \nLearning Objectives: \nParticipants will be able to identify three low- or no-tech communication options for use in school environments\, learn three ways to support AAC use outside the classroom\, and compare resources for creating communication supports. \nMichelle Allen\, ATP\, is the Assistive Technology Professional for MonTECH. MonTECH is Montana’s free assistive-technology resource and training center. Michelle has extensive experience working with equipment from low-tech to high-tech and strongly believes students can achieve their full potential with the right tools. She has worked closely with students with a wide range of diagnoses\, learning disabilities\, and behavioral needs to identify tools and strategies that support success. \nLiz Kuehn\, PTA\, is the Eastern Clinic Coordinator for MonTECH’s satellite location in Billings. Before coming to MonTECH\, she worked for seven years as a physical therapist assistant for Billings Public Schools\, where she discovered a love for adaptive equipment and assistive technology. She has a bachelor’s degree in disability studies and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in assistive technology studies and human services. \nLiz’s experience is an excellent complement to Michelle’s; together they offer well-rounded perspective and extensive knowledge of tools and strategies to help you and your students. \nClick here to register. \nFor more information\, contact Katie Mattingley katie.mattingley@mt.gov
