Length: 60-Minutes
Setting up your class for students with complex learning needs requires a strong foundation in best practices for complex learners. Seeing is believing so come and get inspired! Learn how one public school, Fletcher Miller Special School, in Lakewood, CO, has built a program specializing in the complex and emergent population ages 3-21 years.
Participants will be given a front row seat to discover how AT at Fletcher Miller is supported by environmental considerations as well as school-wide planning and problem-solving structures (that include all team professionals). Explore examples of how AT, when powerfully combined with quality curriculum and specialized and targeted planning for emergent learners, is yielding powerful results. Leave empowered with pictures, videos, ideas, templates, connections, and inspiration for more targeted emergent instruction!
As a result of this activity, participants will be able to:
-
Define and recognize best practices and strategies that work to support the emergent student population.
-
Identify family and community-based supports that will increase their students successful use of AT.
-
Compare their current teaming and scheduling structures with those that promote the consistent use of AT in the emergent learner classroom.
