Karen Hrank, Assistive Technology Specialist, states:
"By using T.H.E. P.A.C.T., math skills can be improved using consistent learning activities and predictable AT supports for the required methods of drill, practice, and repetition. T.H.E. P.A.C.T. provides a consistent framework for presenting math concepts in a clear, concise format, allowing for varied activities and differentiated learning."
Gwen Bertrand, AT Specialist, remarks:
"T.H.E. P.A.C.T. is teacher friendly, practical, and integrates all aspects of the educational program. The beauty of it is that it's easily customizable for each individual student's needs and learning style. It makes assistive technology not so intimidating to those who need to implement it. Just love it!"
Teresa Cherry Cruz, Director of Speech-Language Services, describes:
"T.H.E. P.A.C.T. is a great design and interpretation of differentiated instruction for all students!"
Keith Woodbury, AAC Specialist, comments:
"Using T.H.E. P.A.C.T. each day will help you put your best effort forward to provide learners with what they need for effective communication. T.H.E. P.A.C.T. will help you provide individuals with disabilities with a fighting chance to share the same world their able-bodied counterparts enjoy."
Donna Jones, Special Education Administrator, remarks:
"When introduced to T.H.E. P.A.C.T., my first reaction was,'This will work for everyone - students, special educators, paraprofessionals, and parents!' It is truly practical, user-friendly, and focuses on the basic academic and life skills: Learn About, Read About, Write About, and Talk About. T.H.E. P.A.C.T. lays the groundwork and support for Alternative Assessment Portfolios – key once again for students of all ages and grades, special educators, and parents."
Kathy Boudreau, Special Educator, explains:
"T.H.E. P.A.C.T. helps when integrating students into general education curriculum. As a special educator, I am able to (not only) identify specific educational objectives, but now easily see the progress and delivery by paras on these objectives. T.H.E. P.A.C.T. also helps students navigate through the world of developmental service agencies, employment services, and voc rehab."
Theresa Mazik, Occupational Therapist, remarks:
"Phyl's ability to organize learning for ALL students is so easy. This makes so much sense."
Cara Leckwold, AAC Specialist, comments:
"T.H.E. P.A.C.T. is an easy framework for adapting any curriculum to any individual using the tools that are already available to you. Learners will have a practical framework to understand new information and communicate their new knowledge. You will have consistent tools to record progress, capitalize on a learner's strengths, and target areas for remediation."
Sandra Stark, Communication Specialist, describes:
"Teaching undergraduate and graduate students to implement the principles and underlying theory of T.H.E. P.A.C.T. framework across all speech and language environments ensures that they will never miss an opportunity to provide complete curriculum support – whether in language-based academics, in motor-based speech, or in social and life skills content."
Doreen Tilt, Special Education Administrator, comments:
"T.H.E. P.A.C.T. is an excellent framework and system for planning instruction using practical ideas."
Leigh Prince, Occupational Therapist, shares:
"All too often, therapists end up providing less integrated, profession-specific interventions and service delivery options that are disjointed from the learners' roles and participation in their natural settings. Using T.H.E. P.A.C.T. will better enable related service providers to gear their direct service, consultation, and program planning toward integrated priorities with ongoing collaboration among team members."
Connie Ryan, Speech-Language Pathologist, explains:
"We've been asking the wrong question in Special Education! We have been asking 'How do I teach this thing?'. We should have been asking 'What activities and tools does this student need to learn anything?' Your program is practical and user-friendly which may make it easier to get regular education teachers to buy in."
Dawn Mendoza, Occupational Therapist, states:
"T.H.E. P.A.C.T. is an excellent example of a simple to use, repeatable approach to learning with visual and kinesthetic supports!"
