Supporting Students with Significant Disabilities During Remote Learning

7/9/2020

0 Comments

 
In response to the school building closures, Alt+Shift sent out an open invitation to educators of students with significant disabilities to participate in the Michigan Low Incidence Work Group by building a resource that would be relevant and responsive, and that could be used any time,  anywhere.

Myself and numerous other educators across the state of Michigan took part in this work group to develop these resources.  They have been well thought-out and should help to guide people along their journey or teaching/providing services remotely.
