SUMMARY:Assistive Tech for Transition-Age Students: An Overview (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Explore how utilizing Assistive Technology in schools supports students’ transition to education\, work\, and independent living in this free transformED Educator Workshop.\nThis virtual session highlights the importance of considering Assistive Technology (AT)  in the transition process as students prepare for life after school. AT has benefits for students transitioning to post-secondary education\, the workforce\, and/or independent living with recreational pursuits. We can begin introducing students to AT in our schools so students are comfortable using such technology upon graduation. \nIn this session\, we will review some common devices that are used in the three areas mentioned above: post-secondary education\, the workforce and independent living. We will also discuss important considerations when introducing some of these devices. \nFor individuals wanting to learn more or to try out some of the devices firsthand\, consider registering for the in-person workshop on this topic taking place at the Allegheny Intermediate Unit on October 17. \n*Note: A Zoom link will be sent to registrants prior to the event. \nBackground | Inglis is a non-profit serving individuals with disabilities and older adults in the Greater Pittsburgh region.
