Do you have students who struggle with transitions between activities and environments? In this session, we explore tools and strategies to establish routines and decrease transition-related frustration and behaviors.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to recognize behaviors that indicate transition challenges, identify three low-tech options to promote smoother transitions between activities, and determine three ways to support a student during a difficult transition.
Michelle Allen, ATP, is the Assistive Technology Professional for MonTECH. MonTECH is Montana's free assistive-technology resource and training center. Michelle has extensive experience working with equipment from low-tech to high-tech and strongly believes students can achieve their full potential with the right tools. She has worked closely with students with a wide range of diagnoses, learning disabilities, and behavioral needs to identify tools and strategies that support success.
Liz Kuehn, PTA, is the Eastern Clinic Coordinator for MonTECH's satellite location in Billings. Before coming to MonTECH, she worked for seven years as a physical therapist assistant for Billings Public Schools, where she discovered a love for adaptive equipment and assistive technology. She has a bachelor’s degree in disability studies and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in assistive technology studies and human services.
Liz' experience is an excellent complement to Michelle's; together they offer well-rounded perspective and extensive knowledge of tools and strategies to help you and your students.
