Students participate in a variety of activities modeling different disabilities. They gain a better understanding of physical limitations while performing tasks at workstations without the use of their thumbs (taped down), impaired vision (various glasses) and impaired mobility (using crutches and wheelchairs). After discussing their experiences, they work in teams to create or improve on an adaptive device. Like biomedical engineers, students are challenged to design with the purpose of helping make a particular task easier for another person.

Service-Based Engineering Design Projects

Rating
0.0 stars

This unit describes a general approach to guiding students to complete service-based engineering design projects, with specific examples provided in detail as associated activities. With your class, brainstorm ideas for engineering designs that benefit your community or a specific person in your community. Then, guided by the steps of the engineering design process, have students research to understand background science and math, meet their client to understand the problem, and create, test and improve prototype devices. Note that service-based projects often take more time to prepare, especially if you arrange for a real client. However, the authors notice that students of both genders and all ethnicities tend to respond with more enthusiasm and interest to altruistic projects.

The UDL Guidelines
Rating
0.0 stars

The UDL Guidelines are a tool used in the implementation of Universal Design for Learning, a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn. Learn more about the Universal Design for Learning framework from CAST. The UDL Guidelines can be used by educators, curriculum developers, researchers, parents, and anyone else who wants to implement the UDL framework in a learning environment. These guidelines offer a set of concrete suggestions that can be applied to any discipline or domain to ensure that all learners can access and participate in meaningful, challenging learning opportunities.

Material access is a topic that both school library staff and assistive technologists are deeply connected with and passionate about. However, there are often times in which professionals in these fields are disconnected. In this session, Kasey Fernandez, MEd shares policy and practice changes the Tigard-Tualatin School District has made as a result of collaboration between the assistive technology and school library leads.

AEM for Inclusion session #2 with Jennifer SouthSession Description: This AEM session will review the meaning of accessibility, and look at why standard formats can create barriers for certain learners. In contrast, we will outline and explore the basic accessible formats. Ideally, educators would provide materials that their students can access, but when that doesn’t happen, learners need a solution. Additionally, some accessible formats may require the use of an assistive technology tool to allow the student to fully interact with the materials being presented. This session will focus on free or low-cost accessible technology tools available on a variety of devices and platforms. Having the right tool for the task can mean the difference in a student’s meaningful and successful participation in their education!

AEM Across the Lifespan session #6 | Gayl Bowser, M.Ed.Independent Consultant | Session Description: When students with disabilities are provided with print based educational materials in accessible formats, their ability to succeed in inclusive educational settings increases significantly. One-to-one technology options for students have resulted in environments where most of the needed resources to provide AEM are available. Yet without administrative support and agency guidelines, it is unlikely that Oregon’s classrooms will be able to provide the accessible learning environments that are mandated by federal and state laws. This presentation will discuss specific roles and actions that school administrators can take to ensure accessible learning environments for students who need accessible educational materials.

When the team has assessed a student's need for AEM, chosen formats and acquired them, it is only the beginning of the effective use of AEM. In this session we will explore ideas about how teachers and students use AEM in real classroom settings. We will share ideas about questions like "How do students develop skills to use AEM independently?" and "What do teachers need to know about teaching in classroom groups where some students require accessible formats?" When you join this session you will have the opportunity to explore basic concepts of classroom management for AEM and apply them to real students and educators in your own practice.

AEM for Inclusion session #5, originally recorded 2.20.24Wendy Burkhardt, MS ATACP | High Desert ESDOnce your team has determined and documented that a student requires Accessible Educational Materials, it is time to search for and acquire the materials in the format(s) the student needs to meet their goals. This session reviews the types of accessible formats and the technologies they are compatible with. We will discuss best practices to provide alternative formats in a timely manner, including resources at a district, state and national level. Best practice incorporates accessibility into curriculum purchasing for universal access to all students. We will share AEM repositories such as the well-known Bookshare and Learning Ally to acquire accessible materials not currently available at the district level.
