Setting up for DIY Assitive Technology for the New Normal! #atia2021
Why DIY? Funding. Higher demand than supply. Virtual and hybrid needs. Barriers: safety, who makes it, how much do materials cost? Test it out, partner with experienced groups (makers making change, HS stem clubs: print Lab has recipes and plans), DIY can save money. #atia2021
CameraMouse is a head tracker turns face into mouse pointer, for free. PC only? Nouse is also free, nose as mouse, PC and Mac. #atia2021
IT have been using remote access of various laptops and such for years—get them to give you access to the apps that let you into students computers for support. Or use screen sharing liberally for coaching. #atia2021
Floral form for positioning! Best covered so it doesn’t shed, but so clever. #atia2021 Image
I can’t believe I never heard of jamboard before this conference. Always make a copy and share the copy with students—they can edit freely, ha. #atia2021 Image
Ah, but you can make things you don’t want deleted part of the background. Nice. Jamboard is interactive and you can watch kids work in real time. #atia2021 ImageImage
Recordable buttons from Amaz. Don’t come with instructions, ha. I use big Mack’s in storytimes sometimes, always fun to take turns telling the Pigeon NO. Also, these light up. Neat. #atia2021 Image
The chat is informing me that sides and ppt let you search images and import them straight in and they only have Creative Commons ones! Copyright joy! Ppt also has a lesson pix add on. That’s excellent. #atia2021
Other resources: chrome music lab, pediatrics plus with at home PT things to do, Be Active Kids, Virtual Calming Rooms. These sound like promising programming ideas!! #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 Image
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 Image

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
A really great range of ages, diagnosis, and ethnicities. Project-core.com #atia2021 Image

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 Image

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 ImageImage

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 Image
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 Image

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 Image
I am fascinated by this middle chair, ha. Ball chairs make me motion sick, ha. I’ve tried. I like this towel option. #atia2021 ImageImage
