[Athen] FW: REMINDER... QIAT for Post Secondary Education WIKI

[rmhaven at stanford.edu]

Hi, Ron (and all)!

I'd say it's a real effort.  Prior to being at Stanford, I spent about  
10 years in the K-12 arena and worked with the folks behind the  
Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology (QIAT) -- Joy Zabala (who  
posted the message below), Penny Reed, Gayl Bowser, Diana Carl, and  
others.  As part of an Arizona Dept. of Education program, we received  
substantial training on this and then worked closely with school  
districts throughout the state to help special education departments  
and IEP teams adopt and practice this approach.  It seems like a  
natural extension of their current efforts to apply these very  
effective and consistent "best practices" beyond K-12 into the  
post-secondary environment where many of these students will be heading.
