Level I Training Opportunities
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 2004.
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 2004. Oklahoma public schools are welcome to participate by sending teams to be trained
OATC mails Level I AT Team training registration forms to all Special Education Directors and/or the Special Education administrative contact person in early August. Registration deadline is typically the last week of September.
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 and dates will be determined based on school participation and will occur in local communities.
Core AT 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.
Inclement Weather Policy!
We cancel on the basis of latest weather information from the media. If your school district is closed, then you shouldn't come. If either of the two major school districts close (Oklahoma City Public Schools or Tulsa Public Schools), the training will be canceled at that location. Due to the unexpected nature of the weather, we may not have time prior to a training to contact you regarding weather related cancellations. Please check with Oklahoma City or Tulsa news organizations for up to date information regarding school closings and use that information to confirm whether or not we will conduct our training. If in doubt, please contact Chuck Roberts at osdereg@ouhsc.edu.
