Checking out See Do Write! Language is caught not taught, love that. #atia2021
Linguistic Overprotection—students given simplified language or none at all. Deaf kids didn’t know words for veg because they were described or when they missed the name, were told it wasn’t important. Class then made veg and self-advocacy books. #atia2021
Another great use for backgrounds in zoom: your name!
It would be fun to have a library program where we made our own light tech books, kid led topics. Next year, I guess. #atia2021
Ooh, Cara got her principal to do a cooking activity and book with her class to get her buy in. Love it. #atia2021
Oooh I want to learn more about self directed IEPs like Standing Up For Me and Whose Future Is It Anyway. #atia2021
Rich language for the win!! I hear this simplification too often with kids who have any disability. #atia2021
Bridge plain language and rich language by pairing them together, with visual or sign support as needed. Also pair with home language vocabulary for bilingual kids. Everyone needs rich language! 💜 #atia2021
Time for the LAST SESSION OMG! Put me in coach, let’s talk coaching models. #atia2021
I love this interaction. She showed a live time result of a form asking our positions, and this is the audience defining “coach.” #atia2021
Authentic. Collaborative. Help others reach their goals. Leave your island and perspective and sit with theirs. Pre-set answers may not meet needs or be overall best. Tell what’s best and things can get abandoned, less buy in. #atia2021
I was wavering between teletherapy sessions to get activity ideas, but then I saw Karen Erickson was presenting so time to learn about Projext Core! #atia2021
This is just so incredible. These modules and their implementation with teachers and families is life changing for so many. One in chat is looking to offer in Spanish, another used Jamboard to make interactive activities for caregiver learning. #atia2021
I remain crushed that the teaching about racism session was canceled and am not sure what is a good replacement this morning. I think communication and coaching in COVID. #atia2021
Huh, again with low tech instead of light tech. That feels like a step back in terms of vocabulary. #atia2021
Invite your tablet as another zoom person!! That’s excellent. #atia2021
Okay, universal accessibility via captioning! #atia2021
Post production captions can take four times as long to do as the length of the video. Yes, that’s definitely our experience! I have a par timer who does this for our vids and it’s most of what she does. #atia2021
Wow. Hit multiple keys at once to create “beautiful words” in real time. Create personalized database of common words. Voice Writing is used in courtrooms and military. This is very interesting. Europe uses it a lot too, under a different name. This is fascinating. #atia2021
All right, moving in to interactive and engaging tools for accessible instruction. #atia2021
Small sample of tech for UDL. How to present lessons, how to show mastery of topic. #atia2021
YES! UDL isn’t found on IEPs. The more universally designed, the fewer accommodations needed. It doesn’t water down curriculum and results, it broadens and supports it. Kids don’t stick out because everyone is benefitting and self directing. #atia2021
I had planned on going to digital accessibility, but then my manager put in my annual review that I need to work on self care. Ergonomics for professionals, here we come! #atia2021
This looks like my set up, ha. I sit on a bench at the kitchen table. Here the table is too high for the kids and too low for the adults. #atia2021
I am fascinated by this middle chair, ha. Ball chairs make me motion sick, ha. I’ve tried. I like this towel option. #atia2021
