Designing Academic Instruction for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities

About this event

Students with significant cognitive disabilities who take the CT Alternate Assessment (CTAA), take assessments that align to their grade level content.

Beyond getting students "ready for the test", we need to think about our daily academic instruction aligned to their grade-level appropriate standards that will set them up for successful life outcomes.

In this professional learning, participants will explore topics about making grade level content accessible for students with significant cognitive challenges including Universal Design for Learning (UDL), the Core Content Connectors, Common Augmentative Communication Devices, and lesson planning.
