EDU 620 Week 1 Assignment Response to
Intervention and Assistive Technology
  • Response to Intervention and Assistive
    Technology. Chapter Two of your textbook
    describes response to intervention (RTI) as a
    multilayered system that can prevent academic and
    social failure before a student is unnecessarily
    or prematurely identified as having a disability
    (p.28). Review the section on Response to
    Intervention in your textbook, and conduct
    additional research on this approach using the
    Library.
  • Then, write a four- to five-page paper (excluding
    title and reference pages), in which you
  • Summarize your research findings on RTI
  • Examine how RTI supports the use of assistive
    technology (AT) in learning
  • Evaluate the repercussions of neglecting to use
    RTI

4
EDU 620 Week 1 DQ 1 Universal Design for Learning
(Ash)
  • Universal Design for Learning. Learn about
    universal design for learning (UDL) using your
    assigned readings, National Center on Universal
    Design for Learning and UDL Principles and
    Practice, and the Library. Then, explain what UDL
    is, why it is important in the learning
    environment, and how it can impact the lives of
    learners (both with and without disabilities).
    Lastly, develop a basic lesson plan that
    incorporates UDL standards. Your lesson plan
    should include a learning outcome, at least one
    learning resource, and the related learning
    activity(ies).

5
EDU 620 Week 2 Assignment Evaluation of Assistive
Technology (Ash)
  • Evaluation of Assistive Technology. Write a paper
    that examines the following quote from your
    textbook
  • AT, like education, should not be approached
    with a one size fits all mentality (p.40).
  • Explain what this quote means in your own words.
    Then, describe the various steps and aspects that
    should be considered when deciding on an
    assistive technology, and evaluate the risks
    (both to the student and the teacher) that are
    involved in approaching assistive technology with
    a one size fits all mentality.

6
EDU 620 Week 2 DQ 1 Referral and Assessment for
Assistive Technology (Ash)
  • Referral and Assessment for Assistive
    Technology. Chapter Three of your text explains a
    process called Referral and Assessment for
    Assistive Technology. For this discussion
    assignment, design a diagram, chart, or other
    visual that illustrates the four steps involved
    this process. (To do this, you may use Microsoft
    Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Timeglider or any
    other tool you prefer.) Then, select one of the
    four steps, and explain why it is important to
    the whole process, and what it contributes to the
    overall learning experience.

7
EDU 620 Week 2 DQ 2 Autism and Learning (Ash)
  • Autism and Learning. Many learners with Autism
    Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience challenges
    communicating with others. Watch the video, iPad
    Unlocks New World for People with Autism, and
    analyze how tools like the iPad can support
    learning for students with ASD. Then, describe an
    example of how you might incorporate a tool like
    the iPad into a lesson plan.

8
EDU 620 Week 3 Assignment Assistive Technology
Evaluation (Ash)
  • Assistive Technology Evaluation. Chapter Five of
    your textbook provides tables of various
    assistive technology solutions for reading,
    spelling, writing, and mathematics.
  • Select two different ATs from one of the lists,
    and choose one of the following assignment
    options.
  • Option 1 Recorded Presentation
  • Using Jing or YouTube, present a comparison of
    the two ATs you selected. Imagine you are
    presenting these tools to your school's
    principal, as possible solutions for students
    with mild learning disabilities. Your
    presentation should be no more than 10 minutes,
    and should
  • Describe each ATs purpose and capabilities
  • Provide information on each ATs cost

9
EDU 620 Week 3 DQ 1 High-Incidence Disabilities
(Ash)
  • High-Incidence Disabilities. As stated in your
    text, the three categories of high-incidence
    disabilities defined in the Individuals with
    Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) of
    2004 are
  • Mild learning disabilities
  • Mental retardation
  • Emotional or behavioral disorders
  • For this discussion, select one of the three
    categories to research. Then, provide a specific
    example of a disability that falls under the
    category you selected, explain how this
    disability impacts learning (i.e., through
    gaining information, expressing information,
    and/or organizing information), and identify one
    possible AT that could support a student who has
    this disability

10
EDU 620 Week 3 DQ 2 Pedagogical Strategies for
Learning Disabilities (Ash)
  • Pedagogical Strategies for Learning
    Disabilities. Successful Strategies for Teaching
    Students With Learning Disabilitiesoutlines
    various pedagogical strategies for supporting
    students with learning disabilities. Review the
    strategies/interventions listed, and select one
    to investigate. Conduct a web-search of the
    selected strategy and report on your findings in
    the discussion forum. Describe at least two
    specific examples of what these strategies might
    look like in the classroom.

11
EDU 620 Week 4 Assignment Assistive Technology
Plan (Ash)
  • Assistive Technology Plan. For the Week Four
    assignment, you will create an assistive
    technology plan for a learner with a physical
    impairment. In the chart below, identify a
    learner with a physical impairment to create an
    assistive technology plan to support them in the
    classroom. In your plan, you will identify the
    learner, the disability area, and the grade
    level. Then in two to three paragraphs, you will
    discuss the characteristics of the student such
    as the educational strengths and needs of the
    student (academic, mobility, communication,
    social, environmental and curricular access,
    etc.), family involvement, classroom challenges
    or concerns, existing supports, and other
    pertinent information about the student.

12
EDU 620 Week 4 DQ 1 Physical Disabilities and
Assistive Technology (Ash)
  • Physical Disabilities and Assistive
    Technology. Read Chapter Six of your textbook,
    and watch the video, How Assistive Technology
    Enables Dreams. Then, examine the importance of
    assistive technology in supporting students with
    physical impairments. Discuss how assistive
    technology can empower students and promote
    greater independence.
  • Next, Identify some AT devices that can be
    considered with physical disabilities, and
    explain how you would incorporate AT into the
    classroom (e.g., any special considerations you
    would make, how you would prepare yourself and
    the student, which subject(s) the AT device might
    be best suited for, etc.).

13
EDU 620 Week 4 DQ 2 Distance Learning (Ash)
  • Distance Learning. While distance learning can
    certainly support students with physical
    disabilities, Chapter 10 of your textbook focuses
    on distance learning as a tool for students with
    various disabilities. Examine the benefits and
    challenges of distance learning for students with
    physical disabilities. (Hint Consider both gross
    motor disabilities as well as fine motor
    disabilities.) What are some AT devices that can
    be used to support learners with physical
    disabilities in the distance learning
    environment? What are some AT devices that can be
    used to support learners with other disabilities
    (i.e autism, learning disabilities, intellectual
    disabilities, etc.) in the distance learning
    environment?

14
EDU 620 Week 5 Assignment Assistive Technology
for Visual and Hearing Impairments (Ash)
  • Assistive Technology for Visual and Hearing
    Impairments. Search the web for videos and/or
    articles on AT for visual and hearing impairments
    (e.g., screen reader software, hearing aids,
    etc.). Then, write an evaluation of these
    technologies. Your paper should include
  • The specific devices you researched
  • What these devices enable learners to do, and
    how they work
  • Any challenges you foresee in using and/or
    learning to use the devices
  • How these devices might be incorporated into
    the classroom

15
EDU 620 Week 5 DQ 1 Sensory Disabilities (Ash)
  • Sensory Disabilities. Chapter Eight of the
    textbook covers sensory disabilities. The most
    commonly known are visual and hearing
    impairments. Explain how these types of
    disabilities could impact ones learning
    experience, and identify some AT devices that can
    support students with these disabilities.
    Finally, select an academic subject (e.g.,
    mathematics, science, language arts, fine arts,
    etc.) and describe how the AT devices you
    identified could be applied to a lesson in that
    subject.

16
EDU 620 Week 5 DQ 2 Age of Onset (Ash)
  • Age of Onset. There are many things to consider
    when supporting students with sensory
    impairments one being the age of onset. What
    does the text say about this important piece of
    information? What can it tell the teacher or
    service professional? How might knowing this
    information impact the support a student
    receives? Finally, what is one other piece of
    information you would gather, if you were
    responsible for supporting a student with either
    a visual or hearing impairment?

17
EDU 620 Week 6 DQ 1 Assistive Technology for
Communication (Ash)
  • Assistive Technology for Communication. In
    Chapter Seven of the text, we meet Betsy Taylor
    in the Assistive Technology Snapshot. Based on
    Betsys educational and communication needs,
    discuss some of the possible accommodations and
    assistive technology devices or programs you
    might use to support her classroom needs (further
    than the ones suggested in the case study).
    Further, evaluate the IEP teams decision to use
    a fixed-display communication board and discuss
    if you feel this is an appropriate device or if
    you feel other AAC devices should be explored and
    why. Lastly, discuss ways the device you are
    suggesting or supporting could be used in the
    context of classroom activities.

18
EDU 620 Week 6 Final Project (Ash)
  • Over the past six weeks, you have learned about
    several disabilities and how they impact a
    students learning experience. For the final
    project, you will be asked to respond to several
    case studies. Each of these case studies involves
    a specific disability and a unique set of issues
    for each of the identified students. Your
    assignment is to respond uniquely to each of the
    scenarios. Your responses should include the
    following elements
  • Identification of the specific
    academic/behavioral issues that could be
    addressed through assistive technology
