This past Fall I presented at job-a like for PSI teachers and I was asked to be part of a phone panel for ASHA in order to discuss with Speech Therapists in order to discuss my experiences with Assistive Technology in the classroom and how collaboration works between me and the specialists that visit our classroom.
