Snowman Activity Booksnowmageddon 2015 Wow!  We've been out of school here in east Tennessee for 2 full weeks due to "snowmageddon 2015". I missed seeing my students while trapped at home under ice and snow, but it gave me a lot of time to create new curriculum materials using visual supports. Take a look at our ready-to-print thematic project titled "Let's Build a Snowman' in case you need something to tie in with our recent weather events.  Of course, now I am working on projects for Easter and spring in hopes that we can wish the cold weather away!While working on my projects, I realized that I'd never shared the Boardmaker Help & Training Center site created by Mayer-Johnson/Dynavox.  An excellent resource, it contains tips, guides, and short video tutorials to help when learning to create with Boardmaker products.  It's easy to navigate and offers a host of supports.  Check it out today! 

Janice Reese

My name is Janice Reese and I LOVE assistive technology! I worked as an Occupational Therapist for more than 15 years, earned a Master’s degree in Education Technology, and I’m RESNA certified as an Assistive Technology Profession (ATP). I have worked in the school system for many years now and I love using technology to enhance the lives of children with disabilities. Since my first love is teaching, I’ve spent just as much time training wonderful teachers everywhere to use these tools in their classrooms. AT4Kids, llc was founded in 2008 in an effort to provide quality instruction and resources for teachers, therapists, student users and parents who wanted to know more about using AT.

I currently serve as Director of the Center for Assistive Technology, a state-supported program of the Little TN Valley Educational Cooperative. LTVEC is a non-profit agency whose goal is to provide rehabilitation services and accessibility supports for students with special needs in east Tennessee. My AT4Kids blog is designed to be as a one-stop resource for ideas and information for those wanting to learn more about the use of AT with children in the special education setting.

I hope to offer helpful hints, program and product reviews, AT recommendations, links to great new finds on the web, and lists of resources for “all things AT”.
