An Overview of the New MS in Disability Services in Higher Education Mariette Bates–CUNY School of Professional Studies A new online Master of Science degree in Disability Services in Higher Education, developed by the Disability Studies program at CUNY’s School of Professional Studies, will be offered in the fall of 2015. Geared to disability service professionals, the 30-credit degree program is the first in the country, and was created in consultation with members of AHEAD and other experts in the field. This session will offer an overview of the curriculum and address participant’s questions about online learning and the relationship of the new degree program to professional development. Audience: All Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology in Post Secondary Project: Updates and Lessons Learned Bryan Ayres–Southwest ADA Center Janet Peters–Great Lakes ADA Center The Great Lakes ADA Center and the Southwest ADA Center entered a collaborative project in 2009 with a number of universities and K-12 schools interested in transition participating. This session examines the products developed and the lessons learned since the initial surveys and feedback from Disability Services staff at several universities. Audience: All Strategies for Developing and Maintaining a Disability Services Student Advisory Board Teresa Spoulos–San Diego State University This session will provide participants with strategies on implementing a Disability Services student advisory board. In this workshop attendees will learn about various operations of a board, student and advisor responsibilities, and the types of activities a board might undertake. Audience: All Writing for the AHEAD Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability David Parker–Executive Editor, JPED Roger Wessel–Ball State University Researchers and practitioners in the disability, technology, career and higher education fields, among others, regularly submit manuscripts to the JPED. This session is designed for those who are considering writing articles for the Journal and will include a review of current topics, what the JPED Editorial Board looks for in successful articles and a walk-through of the manuscript submission process. Audience: Potential Authors Rethinking College: A Film and Teaching and Advocacy Tool Cate Weir–University of Massachusetts, Boston Debra Hart–University of Massachusetts, Boston This session will include a screening of the film “Rethinking College” followed by a discussion of how the film can be used as both an instructional and an advocacy tool with a variety of audiences to increase knowledge of postsecondary education opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities. Students; Audience: All Shifting Disability Support Services to a Coaching Mindset Christina Fabrey–Green Mountain College Jodi Sleeper–Triplett-JST Coaching, LLC The college environment requires that students learn to be autonomous, flexible, and critical in their thinking yet we know that many of our students with disabilities need support in how to develop these important skills. Shifting to a coaching mindset, we can encourage students to set their own academic goals, develop strategies to meet them and reflect on their academic performance. This session will review the concept of shifting from a transitional service model to a coach approach to disability supports and share coaching skills to enhance self-reliance and foster efficient learners.
