AT Specialist

About Me:

I've been an educator for 30 years, progressing from elementary and middle school classroom teacher to itinerant district special needs support teacher to AT consultant in multiple school districts. At present I facilitate the use of AT in 5 school districts on the northern half of Vancouver Island. I work with SET-BC, an assistive technology resource program of the BC Ministry of Education.

UDL is a theoretical and practical framework that encapsulates the direction in which I have been moving ever since I started teaching in the late 70's. I am passionate about helping teachers intentionally adopt this more inclusive and effective approach to learning and teaching. Although it is somewhat incidental to my "job", I am doing my best to help equip educators with practical tools to facilitate implementation of a UDL approach in their classrooms.

My "hobby" is sharing free resources that are available on the internet and that can benefit learners and their teachers at all levels. This is an exciting and rewarding challenge, but it is becoming almost overwhelming. High quality resources seem to be arriving on the scene at an almost exponential rate.
