Adoption and usage of AT tools are two of the hardest hurdles to overcome, according to Chad Counts from Charleston County School District in South Carolina. But with the protocols and procedures they were able to implement district-wide, great strides have been made towards their UDL goals.

In this webinar, Kate and Chad will discuss how they:

  • Make reading accommodation decisions
  • Use AT tools as universal tools to support Universal Design for Learning (UDL) goals
  • Put these systems in place and addressed barriers
