  • KarenJan - Moderator Sep 6 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    I also find they pick up on non-verbal cues from Ts. If Ts support the tools, they are more likely to trial. #ATchat

    I only rarely share it with students because we have Read&Write, but sometimes! I don't use the Outliner tool. What am I missing? #ATchat

    I agree, if you make the technology about helping the St and not the Tech then you get more buy in #ATchat #edt5334

    A6 #ATchat The topic you raised last wk: AT Eval model vs Consult & Coach model. Pros/cons, Share experiences, Protocols & process, benefit
  • MaegeK Sep 6 @ 8:49 PM EDT
    A6 Always AAC. Also, would love to talk about strategies and resources for in-services​ on AT in general. #ATchat
  • lrdichiara Sep 6 @ 8:49 PM EDT
    Always such a gray area there! Would love to hear others thoughts too! #atchat

    Here's another perspective on ABA that is recommended for anyone who works with Autistic Ss. #neurodiversity #ATchat https://t.co/R4JR0GMS6h
  • KarenJan - Moderator Sep 6 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    Do you review the questions that are posted online before the chat? Should I continue to create the Smores? #ATchat

    A6: I'm teaching the "school-based issues" class to our 2nd year grad students in Oct/Nov- what AT should they know at the start? #ATchat

    What specifically about AAC? We are fortunate to have @PrAACticalAAC lead a chat every year. #ATchat

    They need to know that every S on an IEP must be considered by AT. Written into federal law in 1997. Still not known by too many #atchat

    It would be great to share what we are doing for low-tech back ups for high tech. I have them but feel they need improvement. #ATchat

  • VickiBostonSLP Sep 6 @ 8:55 PM EDT
    I vote yes. I like to what's coming. Also, in terms of access- if AAC users are participating, it gives the chance to prep answers #ATchat

      I like Qs posted. Helps with getting mindset & topic area knowledge, Qs & wonders fired up ahead of time.

  • KarenJan - Moderator Sep 6 @ 8:56 PM EDT
    @ZajacSLP Ok - thank you to you both. I think there are others (the questions typically get over 50 view before the #ATchat)
    In reply to @VickiBostonSLP, @ZajacSLP
  • VickiBostonSLP Sep 6 @ 8:56 PM EDT
    Yep- I address that in the AAC class but since that's an elective, they don't all take it. This class, they all take! #ATChat

    Did you miss something tonight? Don’t worry-we will post the Storify from tonight’s #ATchat tomorrow morning
