NSPN Event: Assistive Technology in Education

The North Shore Parent Network in collaboration
with school districts of the North Shore invite you to an evening of information and networking.

Who: Parents, educators and professionals with interest in the special educational needs of students in the early childhood, elementary, middle and high schools of the North Shore and beyond.

What: Please join the discussion as we explore assistive technology for learning within and outside of school.  The discussion will kick off with a wide range of perspective including that of a school-based occupational therapist, the CESA #1 Assistive Technology consultant, an early childhood educator who has researched the impact of tablet technology, as well as a representative from our local Apple store. We will discuss a variety of learner technologies from basic to more complex, consider how to ensure the approach is practical, user friendly and a good match to function and goal across environments, as well as how tablet technologies like the iPad have enhanced accessibility. 

When: Tuesday, February 21st from 6:20pm to 8:30pm

Where: St. Francis Children's Center, 6700 N. Port Washington Road, Glendale

RSVP: To Terri Hart-Ellis at hartellis@sbcglobal.net by February 20th. If you are not already on the email distribution list for NSPN, you will be added at that
time.  For questions, call Terri at 414/217-8999. Your RSVP is encouraged to ensure we have adequate seating and materials.  If you forget to RSVP, don’t let that stop you from attending!

Hope to see you there!
