AOTA-SPONSORED SEMINAR: All AOTA members will save 10% on registration. [AOTA

Speakers: Judith Schoonover, Assistive Technology Trainer at Loudoun County
Public Schools, and Matthew Press, Occupational Therapist and Assistive
Technology Team Member at Peoria Unified School District
Overview: All children can learn, meaningful participation can be facilitated,
and matching needs with environmental tools is a skill and a challenge in
today's complex and dynamic classroom environment. As mainstream technology has
evolved, so has assistive technology, from individualized devices or
adaptations to more general software and hardware solutions, with potential to
support individuals along a continuum of abilities. It is essential that
educators and service providers collaborate to include learners with diverse
needs, and recognize that "any item, piece of equipment, or product system,
whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is
used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities" is assistive
technology.
