Discussion Questions
- We are having difficulty finding a portable device for Middle and High school students because the District TIS Dept. does not "support" those we are requesting.
- How do you schedule AT assistance? A day per month dedicated to all issues, as they come up, a dedicated weekly time to address issues? What is your most used AT in your district?
- Is anyone looking to shifting from an expert model of AT delivery to a capacity building/school-based model for meeting the needs of students who may only require lower tech AT?
- How do we work on capacity building? What will work in the small districts?
- We are dealing with a lot of severe behaviors which impedes student learning. Any suggestions for help in this area would be paramount.
- Typical LATS referral processes in districts. What do other districts do? How extensive is their data collection? When is it the program's responsibility and when is it LATS? (other than an individual)
- Funding for equipment, information on grants or ways to gain iPads for our districts,
- How are you implementing AT accommodations and training with teachers in regard to limited access because of contractual agreements towards their planning or professional development time?
