Closing The Gap webinar

“Students with Complex Needs are often unable to participate or access games/activities during school events. Students with Complex Needs are often placed to observe play. A few key purchases and an imagination can change the role from observer to participant!

This interactive workshop will both outline the importance of accessing assistive technology in play for all individuals and discuss techniques for how to put this into practice. Presenters will demonstrate the effectiveness of including assistive technology that can be utilized for play, along with specific examples. Examples will include students/clients with complex needs evidenced by physical/motor impairments, intellectual disabilities, and extraneous factors such as cortical visual impairment.

Presenters will identify key strategies used within a holistic setting to implement these strategies within school, home, and community settings. Discussion will include specific information related to training new team members, family members, etc. for populations outlined. The presenters will open the topic for participants to discuss their own experiences with various populations in AT-based intervention.”
