Lower Marion School District Committee For Special Education To Host 'But What If They Can' Webinar

Press release from the Lower Merion School District:

October 21, 2020

The Committee for Special Education (CSE) is set to host part one of the "But What If They Can?" Webinar on Thursday, November 12 at 7:30 p.m. via Zoom.

But What if They Can? is not just about creating opportunities, it's about changing perspectives. Join Robin Pegg, a nationally recognized expert in Assistive Technology, in a conversation that will challenge how you think about "people with disabilities". We will talk about why words, thoughts, and perceptions have the potential to be bigger barriers than ANY environmental factor. Robin will share stories and examples of kids and young adults who are using technology to conquer not only the barriers the world presents but those monstrous barriers of perception. Finally, we will discuss how each of YOU has infinite power to change the world by changing perspective, often by simply posing the question: But what if they can?

Learning objectives:

1. Participants will be able to discuss the relationship of perception to opportunity

2. Participants will be able to identify TWO sources of digital text

3. Participants will be able to identify TWO communication supports
