SC Curriculum Access through AT
SC Curriculum Access through Assistive Technology
As a companion to the SC Department of Education Educational Technology Plan, an interactive CD ROM was developed to demonstrate principles of AT integration and highlight how assistive and information technology is used by students with disabilities to access the curriculum and reach individual goals. Over 100 students, teachers, therapists and administrators from 15 school districts and 16 schools are showcased (half of which are considered to be rural).
In its final stages of completion, This CD ROM will be duplicated and widely distributed to all school districts statewide, as well as to other interested persons. For information about its availability, contact Janet Jendron at jjendron@usit.net.
