1pm - 3pm - Deep Dive into the Kansas Assistive Technology Guidance for School Districts
Kansas Assistive Technology Guidance for School Districts was created in response to a need expressed by many of Kansas’ school administrators and educators for high quality examples of the processes that individual school districts and IEP teams can use to provide legal, effective and ethical assistive technology (AT) services. The guide is envisioned as a starting point for the development of a specific agency’s AT services. Any part of these guidelines may be copied or revised for use by an individual program or agency.
Assistive technology leaders will
- review sections of the Kansas Assistive Technology Guidance for School Districts
- analyze key procedures for IEP teams to include when considering assistive technology for students
- design an action plan integrating targeted procedure from Kansas Assistive Technology Guidance for School Districts
