Join us for this webinar presented by Maureen Melonis, MNS, CCC-SLP/L.
As the field of assistive technology changes from an expert model to a collaborative one, AT team leaders are called upon to share information with colleagues who may be new to assessing and implementing AT for students with disabilities. Whether one on one or in a group professional development setting, there are strategies to helping the process go more smoothly and the content be more deeply integrated by the adult learner. This session will cover tips and tricks to make the most of your time together.
