  1. Supporting Reading with Assistive Technology How to make AT for reading a part of how students with disabilities receive services

  2. What are we talking about? • Let’s take a look at some materials • Light tech • Portable apps • Text-to-speech • Scanning paper-based text with a scanner and optical character recognition software

  3. Who needs to know it? • Think of someone with whom you work who needs to know this information.

  4. What do they need to know? • Why do we need to “do” AT Consideration for all students with IEPs? • What is there? What’s free? What’s easy? • How do I get the AT I need?

  5. You can’t do this alone… • Sell it! • An "Elevator Pitch" is a concise, carefully planned, and well-practiced description about a program, project, service, or initiative that your mother should be able to understand in the time it would take to ride up an elevator

  6. How will I grab them? What your "Elevator Pitch" must contain: • A "hook" Open your pitch by getting the educator’s attention with a "hook."  A statement or question that piques their interest to want to hear more. • About 130-150 words Your pitch should go no longer than 30 seconds. •  Passion With so much competing for their attention, educators expect energy and dedication when hearing new things • A request At the end of your pitch, you must ask for something.  Do you want to schedule a meeting during planning time or review a website after school?
