AT for students with emotional & behavioral disorders

Hi Lori,

The Wyoming Assistive Technology Resource offers excellent insights from past ECHO in Assistive Technology sessions. Here are a couple of amazing speakers and their considerations on assistive technology:

• Cassie Frost discusses the role of executive functioning in behavior: Behavior: The Role Executive Functioning Plays. https://uwyo3.instructure.com/courses/336/pages/april-21-2022-behavior-the-role-executive-functioning-plays?module_item_id=64881
• Karen Janowski explores technology to support executive functions, focusing on self-regulation and emotional control: Technology to Support Executive Functions, Session One: Self-regulation/Emotional Control. https://uwyo3.instructure.com/courses/336/pages/april-7-2022-technology-to-support-executive-functions-session-one-self-regulation-slash-emotional-control?module_item_id=64350

Additionally, I am fervent believer that behavior often stems from communication challenges or a lack thereof. For more on this, check out:

• Terri Wofford and Rachel Freedman on maximizing communication through best practices from applied behavior analysis and speech-language pathology: Maximizing Communication: Best Practices from Applied Behavior Analysis and Speech-Language Pathology. https://uwyo3.instructure.com/courses/330/pages/december-10-2020-maximizing-communication-best-practices-from-applied-behavior-analysis-and-speech-language-pathology?module_item_id=29412

I hope this is helpful!

Best,

Ryan Rausch, ATAP/AT3
