We're excited to announce our upcoming regional training, Related Services Evaluations for Multilingual & English Learners, happening Friday, September 18th, featuring special guest speakers Amy Wilson from Union Public Schools and Kerry Fox from Tulsa Public Schools!

This session tackles one of the most persistent challenges in school-based practice: how to tell the difference between a language or cultural difference and a true disability-related need. You'll walk away with practical strategies for conducting fair, legally defensible eligibility evaluations for ML/EL students, including how to reduce bias in your assessment methods, use interpreters and dynamic assessment effectively, write documentation that clearly separates language difference from disability, and collaborate with ESL staff to gather the background information that makes eligibility decisions stronger. Content is directly relevant across OT, PT, and speech-language practice, not just speech.

REGISTRATION LINK IS IN THE COMMENTS!

Date: Friday, September 18th
Registration: 9:00-9:30 AM
Program: 9:30 AM start

Special Guest Speakers:
Amy Wilson, Union Public Schools
Kerry Fox, Tulsa Public Schools

Whether you join us in Tulsa or online, we'd love to have you there. Please register using the link above if attending virtually, and feel free to share this with colleagues who serve ML/EL students.

We look forward to seeing you on the 18th!

While most Oklahoma schools do not have adaptive PE, this is a good resource!

How do adapted physical education (APE) and school-based physical therapy (SBPT) work together to support students with disabilities?

This fact sheet explores the roles and responsibilities of APE and SBPT under IDEA, including where these services overlap, how they differ, and how collaboration can help support student access and success at school.
