that the “Local Assistive Technology Specialist” (LATS) Certificate
Training will be held again this summer in Jericho, Long Island, July
20-24.   The LATS training supports our Priority Goal of ensuring that
all students with disabilities have access to a trained AT Specialist.

Please help us and take a minute to forward this notice about the LATS
Training and the attachments to your email networks, especially your
local CSE Chairpersons.  They or their staff may earn the Local
Assistive Technology Specialist (LATS) Certificate
in Basic Assistive Technology Services.  Admission is open to all
special and general educators, administrators and therapists
who provide services to students with learning differences ages 3-21.

The cost is $475 per person for course registration and materials,
computer lab access, and Certificates.  CEU’s are available at no
additional cost.

We will provide all participants with opportunities to develop a local
project for systems change that infuses assistive and instructional
technologies to address the needs of all learners in the classroom.
Emphasis will be on practical applications
in the real world of the diverse classroom rather than minimal
compliance with federal mandates for these initiatives.

Storyteller, Heather Forest, weaves a spell with the magic of words. Her minstrel style of storytelling intertwines original music, poetry and the sung and spoken word. The comedy and pathos of point of view, the mysteries of womenfolk, the trickster, the fool, quests and journeys are threads on the storyteller’s colorful loom. Featured in storytelling festivals around the globe, Heather Forest brings elegance, wit, and the poet’s touch to classic tales from the treasury of world folklore.

You’re invited to bring a blanket or lawn chair for this outdoor event presented by the 44th Annual Huntington Summer Arts Festival 2009.  For directions or more information, call the Festival Hotline at 631-271-8423 ext. 5

  • Nikon | Feel Nikon | Universcale

    We are able to view all entities, from the microworld to the universe, from a single perspective. By setting them up against a scale, we are able to compare and understand things which cannot be physically compared.

    Today, using the electron microscope and astronomical telescope, we can see the objects which we have not been aware of its existence before. Are you able to fathom, or even roughly grasp, these sizes?

    See our Universcale and experience the sizes of various objects.
