Just finished another great session at #ATIA2022 about collaborating to create AT for students with physical disabilities. Can we get some AT makers here in @AVRCE_NS? Tech Ed teachers and students as partners in assistive technology would be wonderful. @AvrceS

Ending off the day today with an exceptional session at #ATIA2022. Receptive vocabulary instruction for our AAC users. Great connections to tiered vocabulary instruction. Truly inclusive practices. @AvrceS

Lots of great reminders about person-centred planning in the #ATIA2022 session called, “Power of the Pivot.” Key takeaway - let’s avoid getting too focused on our outcomes and goals that we lose sight of what our students tell us is important to them.

When the time is right, I would love to offer some facilitated learning in @AVRCE_NS about shared reading instruction for our AAC learners thanks to #ATIA. Check out sharedreader.org/

Excellent first #ATIA2022 session all about emergent writing tools and strategies. So many ideas to bring back to @AvrceS. Key idea - think about the “mark making tool of their future” and provide opportunities to experience and play with that tool.

Looking forward to #ATIA2022 later this week. Stay tuned for some highlights.

From @janefarrall. It’s time to rethink hand-over-hand prompting, especially within AAC instruction. Instead, let’s “Motivate, Model and Move out of the Way!”

It was great to see the results of incorporating AAC use for predictable chart writing today @PineRidgeMiddl2.
