Past and current research is presented along with relevant tools that can be leveraged and accessed right away to facilitate positive student outcomes. Participants will explore Text to Speech\, Speech to Text\, and Word Prediction and leave with a specific list of tools to implement with all their students but especially those students with dyslexia. \nBring your device(s) to test technology tools in real-time. Nanci will work to help participants navigate the use of the various applications and answer questions that arise while trying their various features.  \nThis session is geared towards teachers\, tutors\, parents\, and students in middle school\, high school\, and college.  \n2.5 ACT 48\, CERI\, ALTA\, Wilson\, IMSLEC contact hours available per session  (5 Total for both sessions) \n  \nPM Session – 1:00-3:30 The Intersection of Executive Functions and Reading Comprehension: Technology to Support this Merger\nThe research is clear that Executive Functions (EF) impacts academic progress.  Without these intact skills\, students struggle on many levels\, but especially on those skills requiring multiple academic proficiencies. Reading comprehension Executive Functions play an important role in reading comprehension. How can we support students who are impacted by poor EF skills?   There are multiple technological tools that will scaffold and support reading comprehension and EF skills. The goal of this presentation is to equip participants through hands-on exploration on how technological tools can support and remediate reading comprehension skills that blend with executive function skills. \nParticipants will examine websites that provide scaffolds for the comprehension process that can be used with students immediately. These include sites that scaffold morphology skills\, decoding skills\, and vocabulary concepts.  Participants will leave with a hyperlinked document\, a Padlet that will provide live links to the tools shared during the presentation.  \nThis session is geared towards teachers\, tutors\, parents\, and middle and high school\, and college students. A virtual follow-up session will be held on October 2\, 2024. Participants should upload any questions regarding the technology shared to the Padlet before September 23\, 2024. \n\nFollow Up Session:\nYou spent the day together on September 14th.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Trauma\, Memory\, and Learning: Instructional Implications for Dyslexics
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE \nRegistration will open on September 19! \n\nTrauma\, Memory\, and Learning: Instructional Implications for Dyslexics \nJoin IDA Arizona for a webinar with featured speakers  Nanci King Shepardson\, M.S.Ed.\, Ed.S.\, W.D.P.\, CPACC\, and  Susie Shepardson\, Ph.D.\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Saturday\, October 19\, 2024\nTime: 9 AM – 10 AM MST\nCost: Free (Registration Required)\nProfessional Development: One CEU hour available for educators\n\nJoin us for a one-hour webinar with the mother-daughter duo Nanci and Susie Shepardson as they explore the profound effects of trauma and memory on learning\, particularly for dyslexic learners. \nMany people with dyslexia have a hard story to hear. Some were identified late in life and in learning environments\, they were labeled as disruptive\, lazy\, unmotivated\, or told they just needed to try harder. The psychological implications of negative learning environments are well documented\, and the impact of being misidentified affects an individual’s ability and motivation to learn. This session will delve into research on the emotional repercussions of being undiagnosed. Personal stories of adults with dyslexia will be shared. Finally\, learn how to help these individuals by exploring best practices for instruction as well as technology to support their access to age-appropriate content. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nAttendees will understand the impact trauma has on memory and learning.\nAttendees will learn best practices for teaching students with trauma how to read.\n\nAudience Level: \n\nBeginner\n\nWho Should Attend: \n\nPre-Service\, Early Childhood\, Elementary\, Secondary\, and Post-Secondary Educators\nParents and Adults\n\nProfessional Development: \nOne Continuing Education (CE)  hour will be offered to educators working on their certificate renewal. Participants must attend the live webinar. CEU certificates will be issued to those who submit the CEU – Webinar Reflection Form and make payment. Certificates will be emailed by November 1\, 2024. Cost:  IDA Members $0/Non-members $5   \nAbout the Speakers: \nNanci Shepardson is the Director of Accessibility and Assistive Technology Solutions at Wilson Language Training. She is a Reading and Educational Specialist with an M.S.Ed. in Language and Literacy and an Ed.S. in Assistive Technology. She is a Wilson Dyslexia Practitioner and holds a CPACC credential. \nShe is a seasoned teacher and a credentialed K-12 Reading Specialist. She is a published author\, an advocate for students with disabilities and their families\, and is also a professional speaker on dyslexia\, language-based disabilities\, executive functioning\, and assistive technology throughout the country. \nEquity and access for all\, especially regarding access to research-based reading instruction and assistive technology services\, are at the forefront of her work. \nSusie Shepardson has her PhD in Cognition and Development Research from Emory University. Her research focuses on the impact of extrinsic and intrinsic emotion on memory: how does negative and positive information enhance memory and slow the rate of forgetting relative to neutral information. She is also a teacher\, mentor\, advocate for women in science\, and president of the Association for Women in Science: Emory University – Graduate Division. \n\nRegistration will open on September 19! \nFor questions\, please email info@arizonaida.org.
