2. EDU 620 ASH Tutorial EDU 620 Entire Course (Ash) EDU 620 Week 6 Final Project (Ash) • EDU 620 Week 1 DQ 1 Universal Design for Learning • EDU 620 Week 1 Assignment Response to Intervention and Assistive Technology • EDU 620 Week 2 DQ 1 Referral and Assessment for Assistive Technology • EDU 620 Week 2 DQ 2 Autism and Learning • EDU 620 Week 2 Assignment Evaluation of Assistive Technology • EDU 620 Week 3 DQ 1 High-Incidence Disabilities • Your responses should include the following elements: • § Identification of the specific academic/behavioral issues that could be addressed through assistive technology • § Identification of at least three assistive technologies that will address the academic/behavioral needs of each student

3. EDU 620 ASH Tutorial EDU 620 Week 1 Assignment Response to Intervention and Assistive Technology (Ash) EDU 620 Week 1 DQ 1 Universal Design for Learning (Ash) • 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 • 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). • Make sure to support your plan with at least two scholarly resources.

4. EDU 620 ASH Tutorial EDU 620 Week 2 Assignment Evaluation of Assistive Technology (Ash) EDU 620 Week 2 DQ 1 Referral and Assessment for Assistive Technology (Ash) • 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. • (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.

5. EDU 620 ASH Tutorial EDU 620 Week 2 DQ 2 Autism and Learning (Ash) EDU 620 Week 3 Assignment Assistive Technology Evaluation (Ash) • 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. • Your presentation should be no more than 10 minutes, and should: • § Describe each ATs purpose and capabilities • § Provide information on each ATs cost • § Explain how each AT could be applied in the classroom (e.g., examples of learning activities which use the AT)

6. EDU 620 ASH Tutorial EDU 620 Week 3 DQ 1 High-Incidence Disabilities (Ash) EDU 620 Week 3 DQ 2 Pedagogical Strategies for Learning 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 • 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.

7. EDU 620 ASH Tutorial EDU 620 Week 4 Assignment Assistive Technology Plan (Ash) EDU 620 Week 4 DQ 1 Physical Disabilities and Assistive Technology (Ash) • 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. • 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.).

8. EDU 620 ASH Tutorial EDU 620 Week 4 DQ 2 Distance Learning (Ash) EDU 620 Week 5 Assignment Assistive Technology for Visual and Hearing Impairments (Ash) • 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? • 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

9. EDU 620 ASH Tutorial EDU 620 Week 5 DQ 1 Sensory Disabilities (Ash) EDU 620 Week 5 DQ 2 Age of Onset (Ash) • Explain how these types of disabilities could impact one’s 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. • 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?

10. EDU 620 ASH Tutorial EDU 620 Week 6 DQ 1 Assistive Technology for Communication (Ash) • Further, evaluate the IEP team’s 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.
