This professional development
session is designed to support educators in maximizing the accessibility and
effectiveness of the digital platforms already in use at Father Judge High
School. Participants will explore how
embedded tools within commonly used instructional technologies can be leveraged
to provide meaningful accommodations for students with diverse learning needs.

hands-on exploration, faculty will learn how to identify, implement, and
customize features such as text-to-speech, speech-to-text, readability
supports, annotation tools, and organizational scaffolds within their existing platforms.
The sessions emphasize practical application, ensuring that teachers leave with
strategies they can immediately integrate into their classrooms.

structured for educators to actively engage with these tools, experiment with
features, and collaborate with colleagues to align digital accommodations with
student needs and instructional goals.
