Hi Folks. FREE seminar at the Little Theater, Rochester, Wed Oct 12.
Are You Reaching All Learners?
For learners with disabilities, more options than ever before. Since 1985, Apple has been committed to helping students with disabilities access technology. “Reaching All Learners” explores the added accessibility features brought to us by Mac OS X Tiger and Apple’s partners in education who develop for the Mac Platform. Tiger offers a suite of accessibility tools and technologies—collectively termed Universal Access-designed to work together to address the unique needs of each student and the challenges of many learners.
Join your colleagues in curriculum development and special education as we examine Tiger’s elegant, innovative solutions for students with vision, hearing and motor skills challenges. See how Universal Access works with many applications and supports multiple users with a positive, personalized learning experience. Learn how to break down the barriers to accessing information technology and how to maximize the independence, and productivity of students with learning challenges.
For districts with funding challenges, more resources than ever before. “Reaching All Learners” examines funding resources available under the new IDEA legislation, a federal bill encouraging the use of technology to educate children with disabilities. We’ll also review support options based on the intersection of IDEA and NCLB, as well as Medicare/Medicaid entitlements. And we will offer suggestions for formulating an accessible technology policy for your district.
