On March 30th the Melissa Riggio FIG met in the Honors Lounge at 12.40.
Our guest speaker was Kristen Gillespie Lynch who runs Project Reach at CSI ( Project reach supports students on the spectrum.
We were pleased to include principals from District 75 who joined us for the meeting.
Sue Carpenter also gave an overview of the CUNY grant TPSID: Transitions for post secondary education for students with intellectual disabilities
For our next FIG, Stella Woodroffe Director of Accesibility will be presenting on Universal Design.
Please note our FIG is updating its name as faculty are not familiar with the Melissa Riggio Program name. In the future it will be entitled: How best to include students with intellectual disabilities in your classroom.
