Individuals with multiple disabilities (cerebral palsy, visual impairment, cognitive impairment, autism, hearing impairment, etc.) are at great risk from developing reliance on others to interact with the world around them. Active Learning recognizes that every child/adult with special needs is unique; that programming and intervention for facilitating learning must reflect this individuality. This conference will help professionals and parents understand the theories of Active Learning, to facilitate simple ways to change the environment, and to create a daily curriculum that fosters independent and appropriate developmental learning.
The conference will be held on November 7 and 8, 2022 at Edmond North High School Auditorium. To register and learn more about the conference, view the event flyer.
When: November 14, 2022 at 9:00AM Virtually
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to transition planning. Students, teachers, and parents must work to identify creative ways for students to explore themselves, and their needs as they move swiftly toward their futures.
Student Involvement in the IEP process goes beyond a simple invitation to the table. In this workshop, teachers and stakeholders will gain an understanding of how individualized roles impact student contributions, and the steps they can take to support student involvement before, during, and after the IEP.
