PresenceLearning, Inc., the leading provider of live online special education-related services to K-12 schools, will host a free webinar for school districts looking to deliver these services via in-home teletherapy. During the “Delivery of Special Education-Related Services During School Closures” webinar, which will take place on Thursday, April 9th at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT, Kristin Martinez, clinical director of PresenceLearning, and Dr. Glendora Tremper, coordinator of special education at Springs Charter Schools in California, will discuss strategies for transitioning to online delivery of services.
“As schools across the country move services online, many teams are worried about how to ensure continued access and support for students with special needs. We want them to know that there are great options and well established practices for serving these students online,” said PresenceLearning CEO Kate Eberle Walker.
During the webinar, Martinez will provide best practices for schools, therapists, and families regarding teletherapy, and Tremper will discuss how her school system swiftly and successfully transitioned its school-based education team to an online model. Participants will understand how to quickly get up and running online to deliver services to students at home; online platform tools and features required to provide an optimal experience for students and clinicians; how to manage the delivery of teletherapy to homes, including how to facilitate parents’ and students’ participation; and what parents need to know.
“Communication, communication, communication is the key. The abruptness of the changes required to transition to online delivery of our services to students at home was stressful to parents and staff. So, as a leadership team we were in constant communication at all levels and with all stakeholders including our clinicians, staff, and parents. Multiple virtual meetings kept everyone informed and engaged in the process,” said Tremper.
All participants will receive a certificate of attendance for viewing the webinar, which will also be available on-demand.
