"Serving Children with Disabilities in Virtual Schools: Examining Policies and Best Practices"

Students with disabilities often require a different teaching approach or accommodations in order to effectively meet their educational needs. Virtual education provides new opportunities to serve these students and may also require different techniques than what is used in a traditional school.

In this webinar, participants will hear from three experienced educators. Donna Baker, an educator at the Virtual Community School of Ohio, will be discussing how their teachers are using web cams and Google for Special Education, conducting virtual IEP meetings, and how they are working with one of their related service providers to setup online services for their students.

Paula Burdette, from the National Association of State Directors of Special Education, recently held a policy forum on how to address the policy and practice challenges of serving students with disabilities in virtual settings. She will share some of the recommendations that emerged at that forum.

Finally, Jamie Pagliaro from rethink autism will discuss how a school district can leverage technology to deliver scalable and cost-effective solutions in serving students with autism. Such solutions can help districts close the gap between the number of children who need evidence-based autism interventions and the availability of such services.

Speakers:
Donna Baker, Special Education Director, Virtual Community School of Ohio
Paula Burdette, Project Forum Director, National Association of State Directors of Special Education
Jamie Pagliaro, Executive Vice-President, rethink autism
