Cheryl Temple, the FCPS Support Employee of the Year, speaks on assistive technology.
Technology is an integral part of the instructional program for all Fairfax County Public School (FCPS) students. Assistive Technology Services (ATS) uses computers, augmentative communication devices, and adaptive technology peripherals to maximize the potential of FCPS students with disabilities. Assistive Technology Services makes FCPS students with disabilities our #1 priority in offering:
- Communication devices to help students who are nonverbal.
- Adapted access to both computers and augmentative communication devices.
- Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) to students in both the special education and inclusive classroom settings.
- Assistive technology to help students with vocational preparation and career training.
Assistive Technology Services offers the following resources to help Fairfax County special educators keep pace with ever changing technology:
- An Assistive Technology (AT) referral process for students with disabilities
- Support to classrooms for integrating technology into specific curriculum projects
- Training that is provided on-site by technology topic
- An AT Certificate program offered through the FCPS Academy
- Programs such as TOPS (Technology Outreach and Program Support)
