Accessing the Fun Stuff: Active (and Meaningful) Participation for All Students

Join us for this webinar presented by Michelle Thomas, M.Ed and Robyn Kellogg, MS, OTR.

All students deserve to be able to participate in the “fun stuff” like music, art, gym, assemblies, classroom parties, and field days. This webinar will explore why we need to provide meaningful, active participation to students, what barriers may be preventing their access, and how to support student participation in the special classes, special days, and special activities that inspire joy and excitement. Participants will discover AT devices available in the SWAAAC Loan Library that can help make the fun more accessible, as well as additional resources.
