Mr. Cooper will be working individually for one half hour with students and others with a variety of disabilities and assistive technology needs. During that time he will evaluate and determine the optimal means for each person to access assistive devices. He will be bringing with him all necessary hardware and software, along with fifteen years of experience in problem solving for every disability and age group. Two TV monitors will be set up to show these sessions so that all attending will easily be able to see and hear as he works with each person. Parents, therapists, service coordinators, teachers are invited to observe for all or part of the day.
