Looking forward to working with all of you. I am an AT Specialist from NJ. One interesting fact is  I am a Star Wars fanatic! That is why I cover my office background with this Green Screen!

My name is Alisha, and I am a K-4th grade Intensive Skills Classroom Teacher for Portland Public Schools. I am so excited to attend this class, and learn new things I could use with my students to access curriculum or participate in different ways. One interesting thing about me is that I have a hatred for socks! They are the worst. ]]> 2018-02-28 00:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/236216252 https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/238264422 David h​as​ 10 years of experience in the field of Developmental/ Intellectual Disabilities.

I am an occupational therapist for the school district and apart of our assistive technology team, mom of 2 little boys (1 and 2), and wife to my hubby of 10 years. I am taking this because we have seen Mike present and he keeps your attention and is very knowledgeable! I am hoping to learn all about chrome books as we use them and recommend them a LOT for our kidos, and I feel like I know NOTHING about them, but know a lot more about ipads. I  also would like to learn more about switches/access. 
interesting is I LOVE to travel and just got back from the Dominican Republic! :)]]> 2018-03-05 19:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/238323906 https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/238356275 I am a teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. I work with a variety of kids 2-21. I love tech and computers. Like the outdoors, when it is warm. Want to know how to access the classroom for different capabilities and modes. ]]> 2018-03-05 20:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/238356275 https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/238379506 Hello, I am a a Teacher of the Visually Impaired working for Willamette ESD. AT is very important in this field and it is an area of weakness for me. I would like to learn as much as I can, for the benefit of my students. I am especially interested in the iPad and pairing it with other devices. I have never lived in Roseburg but was born there quite some time ago. Okay, finally had some time to figure out on how to use the features. Looking forward to meeting everyone ]]> 2018-03-05 22:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/238379506 https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/238438147 I am a retired administrator and I used to work for Douglas ESD. These days I act as a consultant, menor and coach for people who work in assistive technology programs. I love what AT can do for kids and I rarely get a chance to listen to people like Mike who can share lots of info and stories about this topic. Can't wait to meet you all.]]> 2018-03-06 03:13:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/238438147 https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/238780294 As Director of Consulting with Living Opportunities, I lead the teams that specialize in Behavior Consulting, Assistive Technology, and Employment Consulting.  With 25 years of experience managing diverse projects, I became inspired to help find ways for people to use technology to access more of their own potential.

I love to hike, and used to be a Park Ranger in Yellowstone and Everglades National Parks!

I’m excited to attend this event with my stellar OT colleagues. It’s a great group to team with as we work to support students with AT needs. I hope to get more ideas around standardizing AT evaluations, as well as tips and tricks for the tools themselves (there’s always something new). An interesting fact about me is that I never watched any StarWars movie until this past year.]]> 2018-03-08 16:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/239771423 https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/239987200 I am an SLP, currently working for Douglas ESD. I serve school age children ranging in ability and needs. My passion is giving students the ability to communicate no matter what their current level is. I hope to collaborate and learn from everyone who attends, gaining new tools/ideas from all aspects of individuals who serve students. A fun fact about me…..I wear a size 4 in kids shoes. ]]> 2018-03-09 01:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mmatp/fkj6p90967gv/wish/239987200
