Hi Romie! This was indeed recorded, but due to some technical difficulties it is going to be just a bit until it is posted. I will post here to let you all know when I have it uploaded. Please share when it is ready!! Glad you enjoyed, Jennifer and Alissa did a great job!
I feel certain that this is being recorded – how can I get other service providers to be able to listen/watch this webinar? this is great information! I loved all the examples of things like the PDA use,picture schedules schedules,
examples of task analysis, scripts that a student can practice….Many Thanks!
I am glad you enjoyed it!!! I think the recording will be available soon!
This was a great presentation. I found numerous ideas that I can use within my classroom and with my students. Is there a documentation sent to the participants that took part in the webinar and who should I contact if I didn’t receive any yet?
Hi Stephanie! You should have received an email from me thanking you for participation. Let me know if you did not receive that.
This was a very good presentation – I loved the strategies applicable for teachers of students with ASD or related disabilities. We will certainly share this information with teachers around Colorado.
I am so glad you enjoyed this!
The recording is now available! Thank you for your patience through a few technical difficulties!! More resources to come this week!
Captions now available!
Jennifer and Alissa share Task Analysis info for those interested. There is a document newly added above and a short “how-to” video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIAJ8SKLkGY
I know we are officially past our discussion period, but Alissa and Jennifer have a few additional resources for those interested! The first is a GREAT guide to Apps and how they are used (in our list of resources above).
Great resource with some specific ideas that can be used for support! Is it okay to share screens of the powerpoint in a presentation I am doing on transition as long as I reference the VCU/Transition Coalition origin?
Unfortunately, this is research material and we do not have approval or consent for anyone outside of our team to use it. I am so sorry!
