[Athen] [EXT] AT classes

[Robert Beach]

It is open to anybody to take. I actually have five different "groups" setup, blindness technologies, low vision technologies, learning technologies, physical access technologies, and general overview. Students can enroll in the class and I will assign them to the group that best fits their needs or interests. I've thought about adding some other groups, but it is just too much work for a one credit class.

I currently have a student who is going into programming taking the class because he wants to create accessible programs. I've had web designers, paraprofessionals, nurses, special ed teachers, general ed teachers, and a range of students with disabilities take the class. Oh yes, I've had three different students who wanted to become assistive technology specialists take the class too.

Robert,

Is this a class for DSS students? Or is it open to anyone? Is it an overview, or specific training on specific types of AT?

Wink,

I have been teaching a 1 credit assistive tech class here since 1994. It is certainly not a certificate program, just the one class. HTH.

Hi all,

Who's teaching or offering or thinking about offering postsecondary or grad classes or grad certificates in adaptive tech?

Let me know who's doing what where!

Thanks in advance.
