2025 All Systems Go: A Teaching and Learning Conference

In this session, we will discuss what dyscalculia is, what it looks like for students, and how to support students.  You will hear from students that struggle with math and how it feels to struggle.  My hope is that  we will bring awareness to Dyscalculia and eventually offer services for Dyscalculia and have early detection so that intervention can begin.

Programs to support individuals with intellectual disabilities in transitions to adulthood represent more challenges than support for families. Our research shows the limitations of the policies and the needs from the perspectives of family members and caregivers of individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Inclusion occurs when students are fully accepted members of their school community. The educational setting is the same as their non-disabled peers, when appropriate, and the role of the general education and special education teacher is clearly understood when discussing specially designed instruction, supplemental aids and services as well as accommodations. Join us as we discuss the philosophy of inclusion that embraces appropriate support for students with disabilities in relation to engagement and progress in the general education classroom. Inclusion exists when students with disabilities are involved in authentic learning tasks that enable them to master the TEKS and make adequate progress in the general education curriculum.

This training is for administrators, teachers, speech-language pathologists, related service providers, and other professionals who will be collaborating on Assistive Technology (AT) considerations.

Team members will learn to utilize results to inform future decision making. This session is aligned with the Instructional Strategies and Teachers and Staff components of the TEA-required self-assessment.
