October 23, 2010: "Create your own Computerized Intervention System for Students with Learning Disabilities: Integrating Charts, Video, and Progress Notes”
Closing the Gap Annual Conference, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 507/248-3294 or info@closingthegap.com.
[The purpose of this computerized intervention system model is to facilitate ongoing communication between all team members, which may include teachers, paraprofessional, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech and language pathologists, psychologists, students, and families. Students' activity charts contain progress notes and links to digital video files, stored on the school's website or free online accounts that can be accessed by all team members to add ongoing progress, comments, questions, and specific recommendations. Lecture, video clips, and activity chart handouts that can be duplicated for educational use will provide participants with learning experiences and practical strategies to take back to the classroom and/or home environments. Case examples of students with learning disabilities will demonstrate how to use and adapt the dynamic and interactive documentation model.]
