We realize that in these uncertain times it is important to work together to help parents who have suddenly taken on the role of teacher and caregivers who are looking for activities to make time at home for adults enjoyable and meaningful.
There are many in the AT community who have posted their ideas, shared resources, and provided access to their materials/apps/programs free of charge to help individuals with disabilities navigate a digital learning environment and use technology to increase independence and participation in activities. There are also resources available to help explain COVID-19 and to try to decrease stress and anxiety in these challenging times.
We have spent the last few days curating these resources*, and we would like to share them with you.
We have created this Padlet(organized by category) in the hopes that it can provide something that will help you in the coming days. We will continue to gather resources and make them available.
