This training will focus on planning for students who use assistive technology (AT) as they
move to new placement settings. We begin with the assumption that IEP teams have already
determined that a student with a disability requires AT and that the student has been using that
AT in the current educational setting. Although the principles of AT transition included in this
session are related directly to the transition planning that is a requirement for students 16 and
older in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004), the
processes and strategies discussed are generally appropriate for transition of AT users at any
age.

Tactual Symbol Systems: An Introduction - Children born with visual and multiple impairments or deaf blindness
face many challenges in developing a communication system and language. Typically these students need more
tangible forms of communication such as object symbols or tactual symbols before they can advance to more
standard forms of communication such as print, Braille, sign language or speech. This workshop will provide an
introduction to tactual symbols. Participants will learn why the use of these symbols is recommended, how to
determine when the student is ready for using them, and how to incorporate them throughout the student’s
instructional day. The lecture portion of the day will include video examples of these symbols being used. The last
portion of this day will include a make-and-take so that participants can begin to create these symbols for the
student. A working lunch will be provided for participants and their Special Education Directors to discuss the
possibility of follow up sessions for students using tactual symbols system during the 2011-2012 school year.

Do you have students who are hard to motivate? Do you want better working relationships
with your co-workers and the family members of your students? Come learn how the basic
principles of culture can help you better understand the how and the why people act the way
they do. . . Who knows, you might just learn a bit about YOURSELF in the process! It is the
intent of this training to help educators understand the diversity among cultures and how those
differences impact the teaching and learning cycle. You will discover an important principle;
culture is NOT tied to race or ethnicity. Culture affects how we communicate and process
information. Culture also affects our actions and reactions. This session is opened to educators
