LEVEL I TRAININGS
The Assistive Technology Program for Oklahoma Public
Schools is a program that provides assistance to public
schools in meeting the Assistive Technology requirements
of IDEA. This program is made available to schools through
a collaborative effort between the Oklahoma State Department
of Education and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences
Center/Oklahoma Assistive Technology Center.
One of the program priorities is to work with schools
to establish local assistive technology resource teams.
The development of resource teams gives school districts
a local option for addressing the assistive technology
requirements of IDEA. Oklahoma public schools are welcome
to participate by sending teams to be trained. Registration
for team trainings begins in August of each school year.
Core team members should include: special education
teachers, psychometrists or school psychologists, speech-language
pathologists, and administrators. Depending on availability,
additional team members may include a vision or hearing
specialists, occupational therapists or physical therapists,
general education teachers, and instructional technology
specialists. The team membership should reflect multidisciplinary
involvement and districts should commit to sending at
least two members. All team members must attend all six
training sessions.
The training consists of six sessions, which will occur
throughout the school year. They are provided
free of charge to participating school districts. The trainings
are scheduled once a month beginning in the fall and
ending in the spring. Training locations will be determined
based on school participation and will occur in local
communities.
