​Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to Support Learning for Students with Disabilities​​ ​Participants will be introduced to the basic concepts of UDL including ways that the framework provides access and support for both in person and distance learning settings. ALL students need equitable access to digital and print materials and technologies used to deliver instruction on center and remotely. UDL is a scientifically-based framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all types of students.  This webinar’s focus will highlight how center staff can optimally manage the implementation and coordination of accommodations for students with disabilities through the use of flexible learning environments including distance learning settings.​

​Supporting Executive Functioning for Students on Center and in Distance Learning Settings​ ​Executive function is the “command and control” center of all cognitive skills.  Although executive functioning issues are not considered a disability on their own, they often appear in individuals with disabilities to include LD, ADHD, Spectrum Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD to name a few.  This webinar reviews various executive function manifestations, related functional limitations, and explores a variety of accommodations and supports that could assist Job Corps students with executive function challenges on center and in distance/remote/online learning.​

This webinar will define self-regulation skills, outline specific strategies and resources for improving students’ self-regulation skills, and discuss how to accommodate functional limitations associated with self-regulation challenges.   A Center Mental Health Consultant (CMHC) with more than 20 years’ experience in Job Corps will be a guest speaker and provide examples of how to use specific resources, including technology, to support students with self-regulation challenges.​
