Assistive Technology Specialist Certificate Program

Presented by Susan Simmons & Associates

Hosted by the West San Gabriel Valley SELPA

Intended Audience:
Participants are or will be key Assistive Technology (AT) Assessors or persons currently in positions as AT Assessors in districts or SELPAs.

Description:
This Professional Development Program is designed for the Common Core State Standards and current district technologies. Comparable to a graduate university course, this certificate program includes thorough instruction and exercises on how to assess students with curriculum and physical access needs. Students will also complete two practice assessments, which will be reviewed and evaluated based on a rubric.

This unique combination of coaching students through practice AT Assessments and using a rubric for evaluating those assessments is critical in the development of these skills. The focus is on Mild/Moderate Students and those with Physical Handicaps. (The program does not include AAC.)

The course is comprised of 48 hours in session (eight six-hour days) and approximately 40 hours outside of the course. Participants who meet all requirements at the conclusion of the course will receive an AT certificate. For an additional fee, ($260) participants can also obtain graduate university credit.
