This first session in the A Closer Look at Access webinar series is meant to build the foundation before jumping into our Closer Look at Access webinar series. This webinar’s focus will include definitions, explanations, and specific discussion of the types of access currently available for use with augmentative communication devices and for other Assistive Technology devices (e.g., computers, iPad, Smartboard). It will include the “standard and traditional” history of access techniques as well as assessment issues that need to be considered with each individual student when supporting her/his use of assistive technology.

Kathleen Lynne Lane is a Roy A Roberts Distinguished Professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Kansas and Associate Vice Chancellor for Research. Dr. Lane's research interests focus on designing, implementing, and evaluating comprehensive, integrated, three-tiered (Ci3T) models of prevention to (a) prevent the development of learning and behavior challenges and (b) respond to existing instances, with an emphasis on systematic screening. advantages and disadvantages of each to support schools in adopting a behavior screener. At the end of this training, participants will be able to: Define the purpose of utilizing a Universal Behavior Screener in a 3 Tiered Model of Support. List a minimum of 3 Universal Behavior Screeners. Identify the Advantages of 3 Behavior Screeners. Identify the disadvantages of 3 Behavior Screeners.

Module 1: The Development and Outcomes of Youth with Emotional Disturbance (Adaptation) This module will focus on early adolescent development and youth outcomes related to the likelihood of school failure, school dropout, and poor post-secondary outcomes, how to achieve positive outcomes and experience educational success, and how to use information about youth risk and positive development to increase the likelihood of immediate school success as well as long-term outcomes.

Module 2: Early Warning Systems This module will examine early warning-signs of risk for school dropout and consider ways that educators can use this data to promote positive developmental pathways and outcomes for students with emotional behavior disturbance.

Module 4: Tiered Systems of Adapted Supports (TSAS) This content offers an overview of a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS), the advantages and disadvantages to this framework, and proposes a tiered system of adapted support (TSAS) to be implemented as a complementary approach.

Module 5: Using Academic Data and Academic Support Interventions This module will review the importance of timely review of student academic data to determine the areas of strength or weakness across knowledge and skills. It will communicate the value in choosing aligned instructional strategies or interventions based on the data, to evidence student success and viable use of these skills and concepts in the future.

Module 6: Using Attendance and Attendance Support Interventions Learn how attendance is tied into school performance, academic success, and graduation rates and how to use this critical data point as an indicator to assess a risk of future drop out.
