     Welcome to the Web-based Instruction in Assistive Technology for School Personal. This course concentrate on the assistive technology tools that we feel have the greatest applicability in the school setting: seating and positioning aids, mobility aids, communication devices and alternative writing devices. Throughout the semester, the participants will develop the skills necessary to evaluate for assistive technology tools and implement the use of technology aids and devices within the context of your curriculum. At the end of the course, they will receive hands-on training on many of the assistive aids and devices seeing throughout the course.

     Funded with a grant from the South Carolina Developmental Disabilities Council (Grant #112-21-0013), the course and its team are based at MUSC. This project combines the use of teaching modules delivered on CDs with online discusssions, chatlines and exams through an online course management system called WebCT.
