=Guest: Laura Hamilton OT=

Laura has been a "combat OT" for NGO groups. She worked with injured civilians in Yugoslavia during the Serbian/Croatian war, and many other trouble spots around the world. She is now working at Spokane Schools.

Laura will talk with us about a resource she developed to help teachers work through occupational therapy issues __ before __ calling in the occupational therapist. [|Pre-referral system-2] [|.ppt] She will also help us to use basic switch and cause/effect toys for curriculum goals. Or (to put it another way), she will help us answer the question: "Now that I have a switch toy, what do I do with it?"

She will also discuss how to write technology grants.
