    A1. Early accountability for school districts. How are students getting thru school without an effective communication system?#atchat
  • JoanneSabo May 16 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    Yes and with an “assistive name” it often means we need permission to use tools that may already be embedded in the environment. #atchat

    It seems so much is lost in the language we choose to use to have the discussions. Changing the language can change the expectations (and possibly the outcomes). #ATchat

  • GeriB321 May 16 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    Why do we have laws that aren’t enforced?#atchat
  • KarenJan - Moderator May 16 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    But what is personalized learning? Is it the prepackaged programs that publishers push (like that alliteration?) that adjust as students respond? Or is it truly customized by the ones who know students best, their teachers? #ATchat
    • attipscast May 16 @ 8:11 PM EDT

  • lrdichiara May 16 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A1 - Agreed! Although IDEA makes mention of UDL principles, we know firsthand when done correctly UDL is the root of accessibility for all students w/o needing permission to do so. When thought of as “assistive” it sounds more like an add on, not an initial consideration. #ATchat

    Yes. I was in a meeting today and recommended speech to text and text to speech for a student with significant challenges in reading and writing using traditional methods of expression and representation and I was told we would need an At eval #atchat

    Unless you only want to talk about goldfish. Doubtful many would find that satisfying for a lifetime #ATchat
    In reply to @attipscast, @GeriB321
  • mwilliamsAT May 16 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    It might be more that the enforcement is not clear/easy. It's difficult when laws are unclear to the people protected by them. Also doesn't help when they're reactive instead of proactive. #ATchat
  • mmatp - Moderator May 16 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    Q2: If you could change one thing about AT Consideration, what would it be? #ATchat
  • KarenJan - Moderator May 16 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    UGH! Did they give a rationale? Why would they want to waste time and money when the team discussed it in the appropriate manner? #ATchat

  • JudithSchoonov1 May 16 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    But transition needs to start as soon as students enter school. We should be talking about transition from home to school, from preschool to elementary, and so on. Each requires different skill sets. We are not preparing our kids for college career and community. #ATchat

    Getting them in is one thing. Having them be successful? Something else entirely. I think it all needs a good scrubbing for clarity. #ATchat
    In reply to @attipscast
  • lrdichiara May 16 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    This is the exact reason why UDL is critical....If the tools were already available, you could begin using to trial to ensure they are the right fit. This provides a much more defined picture of feature matching. #ATchat
    In reply to @JoanneSabo, @SarahGeissWood, @JudithSchoonov1, @KarenJan
  • SarahGeissWood May 16 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    Do I understand the situation correctly? If they have the tools/capabilities already in some of their software programs, what was the AT consult for? I am confused #atchat

    A2 - Ensure that AT Consideration actually occurs at the team level. It is not a check box and should not be ignored. #ATchat

  • JoanneSabo May 16 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A2 I think as the tools become more embedded in the environments than Consideration will be dropped because there is not need to consider if it is readily available for all who wish to use it- it will become “automatic” #atchat

  • JudithSchoonov1 May 16 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    I’ll get the soap, you get the brush. Discussions such as these can start that scrub towards clarity. #ATchat
    In reply to @mwilliamsAT, @attipscast
  • KarenJan - Moderator May 16 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    That could be part of the consideration - the tools are ubiquitous. Sometimes Ss needs to build their strategic competence to know when to use them or to build their own tech toolkits. #ATchat

    A2 - involve the student in AT consideration. Help them to see themselves as the expert who can share what works for them with the team. #ATchat
  • JudithSchoonov1 May 16 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    Maybe less emphasis on tools as “things” and more on strategies too. Sort of like the feature matching. Yes, tools are often necessary, but they may intimidate those who can use strategies skillfully. #ATchat

    Yes, and I don’t want to completely divorce AT from the IEP- documentation is important, especially for transition, but I’d like a pathway not so subject to 30 or 45 day time frames. Can be hard to evaluate & get a good trial (or 2) in that time, at least for AAC. #ATchat
