AT GUIDELINES & Technology in Education at SERCNewly released for the 2013-2014 academic year, the Connecticut Assistive Technology Guidelines help provide a frameworkfor educators, providers, and families to make decisions about AT for individual students. The new guidelines embed theQuality Indicators for Assistive Technologies (QIAT), covering each stage of the AT process from initial considerationthrough implementation and evaluation.While AT might be perceived as intended for students with disabilities, it is part of an evolving structure in which studentsof all abilities use similar technologies and have a comparable learning experience. SERC professional development intechnology in education encompasses both common approaches to meet the needs of all students, exemplified in UniversalDesign for Learning (UDL), and procedures more specific to students with disabilities, including Assistive Technologyteams and individualized education programs.Highlights in 2013-2014:Progress for Students with Moderate to SevereDisabilities: Accessing and Aligning with the CCSSPresented by Diane Smith, Ed.D., and Smita Worah, Ph.D.,Consultants, SERCFriday, October 25, 2013 &Friday, December 6, 2013Applying the Principlesof Universal Design for Learningto Access the Common Core State StandardsPresented by Greta Skiles and Smita Worah, Ph.D., Consultants, SERCFriday, November 22, 2013 &Thursday, April 10, 2014Creating and Sustaining AT TeamsPresented by Bill Bannish and Smita Worah, Ph.D., Consultants, SERCTuesday, March 25, 2014register online at: www.ctserc.org/catalogNeedMoreInformation?(860) 632-1485Content: Smita Worah worah@ctserc.org x319Registration: Linda Adorno adorno@ctserc.org x241It is the policy of the State Education Resource Center (SERC) that no person shall be discriminated against or excluded from participationin any SERC programs or activities on the basis of race, color, language, religion, age, marital or civil union status, national origin,ancestry, sex/gender, intellectual disability, physical disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression.
