NEW EASI-SEM ONLINE COURSE BEGINS JULY 6

** Note this new course includes more information relevant to special
education and K-12.

Get the latest information on teaching strategies and hardware and software
solutions that can help you or your students get access to the fields of
science, math and technology for persons with disabilities.  EASI's online
course has been expanded to four full weeks of instruction and you can now earn
3 continuing education units for your work.  You'll also get valuable
materials, including three videotapes and the book "Information Access and
Adaptive Technology," all for the low price of $195.

Too many students with disabilities reach college without the foundational
background they need in math, science, or adaptive technology.  Without these
basic foundational skills, students often fail in meeting their college core
requirements in science and math, and they don't get the opportunity to decide
if they'd like to major in the technical fields.  EASI-SEM, the online course
on science, engineering and math access focuses on the barriers faced by
students with disabilities and the accommodations  and strategies that will
helps students with disabilities work and study in the technical fields.  The
material is aimed at service providers, teachers, administrators, and it is
also helpful for parents.
