![]() ![]() We love connecting with families and professionals who are providing services for not only children, but families across Pennsylvania so I appreciate you being here today. ![]() I'm really excited to be here with you today as part of our Families First trainings and we, at the Institute on Disabilities, pride ourselves in outreach. I'm going to go ahead and share my screen, but that definitely gave a good overview of who I am and what I've done here at the Institute on disabilities and before coming here. So with that, it's my pleasure to turn this program over to Stacy, to talk with you today about assistive technology for families. She also holds additional certifications in American Sign Language studies and assistive technology. She has a Master of Science in restorative practice and education and a Bachelor of Science in special education and elementary education and she has certification and education of the deaf and hard of hearing. waiver She does outreach for the iCanConnect PA program, which is a deaf/blind equipment program, and she conducts demonstrations of devices for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and may need assistive technology.Īnd as I mentioned, she recently joined the Leadership Development team to support Competence and Confidence- Partners in Policymaking, Partners in Policymaking Early Intervention, and the Families First program.īefore coming to the Institute, Stacy spent 10 years in special education and autism support. ![]() She has many responsibilities here at the Institute, including coordinating assessments for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are also deaf under the Harry M. So Stacy Phillips is the project coordinator of assistive technology programs at the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University and I would add that she is now also a project coordinator for Family Leadership and Development. And I do want to just remind everybody, as Stacy mentioned, this program is being recorded so if, for any reason, you don't want to be on the recording, you might want to turn your video off, or what have you, but if you're comfortable with it, we encourage you to keep it on so that we can have a nice interactive session. So I'm going to just take a moment to introduce her and then, I'm going to turn the program over to her. This is part of our Families First series and I have the great pleasure of being able to introduce our speaker today, who is also my colleague, Stacy Phillips. My name is Jamie Ray-Leonetti and I'm the associate director of policy at the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University.Īnd today, I am very pleased to be here to introduce one of our Family Leadership Development programs for you. Good morning, everybody and thank you for being here today. ![]()
