Stage One of ITPS Competency H focuses on developing background knowledge about students who experience difficulty in the classroom, inclusing students with disabilties, and an overview of assistive technologies that can be used to compensate for these difficulties.

 

There are six online modules, presented in Blackboard, that are included in Stage One.  They are as follows:

• Introduction to Technology for Diverse Learners
• Technology for Reading, Writing, Math, and Personal Organization
• Technology for Students with Communication Needs
• Technology for Students with Physical Disabilities
• Technology for Students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
• Technology for Students who have Visual Impairments

After completing these modules, students are required to take an online exam to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the content.  Students are afforded a limited number of attempts on the exam so it is important to review and study the module content carefully before attempting the exam.
