Wow! I have to say that today was truely inspiring! Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. I have to say that over the years I have taken courses that when the final class came nothing within me or my teaching practices changed. Fortunately, that is not the case this time. I am excited about my new found knowledge and appreciation for the role that Assistive Technology can play for my students. And that there is a process for matching and implementing AT! I am no longer in search of that program that is perfect and will suit the needs of all of my student, I now understand that is not a reality. That the diverse needs of students plays a role in all aspects of their programming including the AT. It has been a pleasure to work with you Barb and benefit from your knowledge. I have enjoyed everyones AT stories involving the good and the bad. These experiences lead me to the conclusion that we need to get out there and advocate for AT and share our knowledge with our colleagues. We need to work toward making AT a priority in our schools and others. That no matter how small our success' are we need to stop and celebrate as small success' add up. Hope you all enjoyed the course as much as I did. Keep moving forward!
