Did you know about the SERC Library Assistive Technology Corner...
Assistive Technology Corner
Want
to learn more about assistive technology and how it can help your student or
your child? Wish you could test some AT devices before choosing them? Feeling
lost with the array of apps?
The State Education Resource Center (SERC) can assist you. Families and educators are welcome to visit the SERC Library’s Assistive Technology Corner, where they can see the display of low-, mid- and high-tech AT devices, try them out, and learn about the latest research and trends in the field of assistive technology.
In addition to
demonstrating the use of the devices, SERC staff can provide information on how
to create low-tech AT using everyday materials as well as the importance of AT
in accessing, participating in, and progressing in the general education
curriculum. Educators can also reserve
the space to conduct AT assessments and use the available AT devices for
trials.
For more information
and to make appointments for demonstrations of AT, please contact the SERC Library at library@ctserc.org, or call 860-632-1485 x4.

The READ Program is BACK! Wednesday, September 30th 5 pm to 6 pm
If you are interested in having your child read to a dog and NOT JUST ANY DOG - a R.E.A.D. registered therapy animals have been trained
and tested for health, safety, appropriate skills, and temperament. When
these special animals come to listen to children read, it's fun! And that
makes all the difference. Their presence creates an environment that is
inviting, nonjudgmental, and empowering.
The R.E.A.D Program is back at the SERC Library! We will have our first program on
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH FROM 5 PM TO 6 PM!
If you are interested in having your child (Grades K-4)
participate, please email the SERC Library at circ@ctserc.org or call 860.632-1485 x 235!
In addition to the reading to the dogs, we will also provide
opportunity for arts and crafts and snack! Sign up soon as 'spots' are limited!
