@mmatp accessibility to kiting areas for people wth physical disabilities #ATChat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Question - How do you get teams to use devices/apps for more than reward and reinforcement? Do you see this as an issue? #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@bcdtech Yes, quite good. Worth downloading and showing to students. #ATchat

lrdichiara Oct 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@mmatp @attipscast Great topic!!! #atchat

wernedat Oct 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@KarenJan so what's another solution? something in PD needs to stick... I'm trying small PLCs and little info each time #atchat

bcdtech Oct 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@KarenJan Drives me nuts! I have a "talk" with them- they agree and then do it anyway. #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@bcdtech It's great to have options beside the usual siri voice. nice inflection, too. #ATchat

MaegeK Oct 12 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@KarenJan This is a huge issue at my program. I find I have to constantly remind them this is expensive tools not a video player :(. #ATchat

wernedat Oct 12 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@bcdtech @KarenJan and this - https://t.co/peFhAgH3jw so cool #atchat

at_makers Oct 12 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@KarenJan I think the shift to core words & boards is a big improvement in that area - keep the flexible words visible & model(!) #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 12 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@bcdtech @MaegeK So how do we overcome this issue? We need a paradigm shift! #ATchat

KerriHslp Oct 12 @ 8:15 PM EDT

lrdichiara Oct 12 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@KarenJan I truly believe if teams are thoroughly trained, they can see the + impact it has on increasing S access & independence. #atchat

ActKimberly Oct 12 @ 8:16 PM EDT

bcdtech Oct 12 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Have you checked out some of the good work Eric Curts is doing with AT and chrome? https://t.co/74L8gB3id5 #atchat

at_makers Oct 12 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Hey @KarenJan - you asked for success stories - how about a low-tech solution (Bell Ringer) :-) https://t.co/PJXi0eQHRx #atchat

lrdichiara Oct 12 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@deTechtive1 @bcdtech Same here for my kindergartner! Makes our morning routine so much smoother! #atchat

@mmatp @at_makers Is #FETC17 mainly SPED or GenEd? #atchat

@at_makers Seems they are making strides to include SPED and AT. I will be presenting there this year #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 12 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@mmatp @at_makers When is it? #atchat

at_makers Oct 12 @ 8:55 PM EDT
