Diane Barfield, Colquitt County Schools

Salon 7 Friday 11:00 - 12:00 Capacity: 260

This session will focus on the initiative for Assistive Technology that is currently in progress in Colquitt County Schools in Moultrie. By putting in place a team of individuals with different areas of expertise, but who share in the common vision of helping all students achieve, Colquitt County is leading the way in Assistive Technology. Recognized by the Georgia Project for Assistive Technology for its informative and helpful website, the ATeam from Colquitt County is moving forward to put in place BEST PRACTICES for Assistive Technology. Recently, the school system was featured in the Don Johnston newsletter as a "School in the News" for its efforts to combine technology, curriculum, and special education services in order to reach and help more students. The presenter is the AT coordinator, who will discuss the ideas and information available through this successful effort.
