Name: using IRIS Resources
IRIS STAR Legacy Modules are Web-based instructional materials that provide
information about working with students with disabilities.

This website would be useful for my classroom because it would be a

guide towards helping understanding what the disabled students need and
their progress. IRIS provides us with 5 steps to go through that includes,
challenge, initial thought, perspective and resources,wrap up and
assessment.

Name: National Center of Accessible instructional material
For general information on assistive technology (AT) and accessible instructional
materials (AIM), including relevant federal laws, the National Center on
Accessible Instructional Materials at CAST provides a helpful outline.

In my classroom, this website would be useful for me because it is a easy

accessible website for teachers who need materials for students with
sensory, physical,cognitive or learning differences. The materials on this
website helps the teachers with material they can give to the students
depending on the child's needs. These materials will be specialed
especially to what the child requires.

name: AEM Navigator
CAST's AIM Navigator is a decision-making tool -- designed for use by
Individualized Education Program (IEP) teams or other collaborative teams -- for
determining the need, selection, acquisition, and use of AIM. Information about
specific resources available in your state is included in their State AT Resources.

AEM navigator is a website that assists with decision making. They

provide you with series of questions that would assist you to make
decisions about selection, acquisitions and educational material. I feel this
would be a very useful access for the educators who are still learning to
provide their students with the right material.

Name: quality indicators for assistive technology
The QIAT Community is a nationwide grassroots group that includes hundreds
of individuals who provide input into the ongoing process of identifying,
disseminating, and implementing a set of widely-applicable Quality Indicators for
Assistive Technology Services in school.

This service provides many things such as assistive technology for local
and state mandates, they are constantly evaluating for improvement,
seeking assistance to meet their needs and policy makers to provide the
community with the resources they need.

Name: Center on Technology and disabilities
Assistive Technology 101 from The Family Center on Technology and Disability
(FCTD) is another good resource; FCTD also provides helpful fact sheets for
parents related to AT and IEPs, Assistive Technology Laws, terminology via an AT
glossary, and family information guides (also available in Spanish).

This website helps the teacher understand the kind independence the
person with disability needs. This also helps with communications with
friends and community members. Disabled children can be involved in
activities and events. Assistive technology will help these children
overcome the obstacles in the everyday lives.
