Online Discussions

Welcome to the Family Center on Technology & Disability's Online Discussion Center. Throughout the month of May we discussed Visual Strategies for Students with Disabilities. Our discussion was led by Brenda Fossett of the British Columbia School for the Deaf and Linda Hodgdon of Cornerstone Communication Center and author of Visual Strategies for Improving Communication and Solving Behaviors in Autism. That discussion is now archived and we invite you to read the very informative transcript.

We're also pleased to bring you the transcripts of our previous discussions, on a wide range of topics, including AAC and vocabulary building, AT mediation, assistive technology outcomes, AT funding, AT research, Web accessibility, universal design, the SETT Framework, AT and occupational therapy, and emergent literacy.

You may request a copy of the Family Center's "AT Resources" CD-ROM, which contains formatted transcripts of our archives.

All FCTD online conferences are free, having been made possible by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP).
