With a strong focus on increased communication and independence, our Assistive Technology (AT) Specialist ensures that our students and staff have the resources, training and support to enhance learning opportunities. Using a collaborative team approach responsible for assessing how technology can help overcome barriers and lead to success in reaching educational goals, GPS provides technological supports that empower our students to learn, read, use the computer and interact successfully with others.

Community based instruction provides students safe opportunities to increase confidence, practice appropriate behavior and grow more independent. It also allows the community to become more inclusive of people with disabilities. For example, community based instruction allows students to experience real life settings such as public transportation, grocery shopping, visiting museums and most importantly learning safety out in the community.
