The International Teacher-in-Residence grant is a philanthropic award presented bi-annually to an individual by the Bridge School, in collaboration with the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC). ISAAC is an international non-profit organization made up of professionals, families, manufacturers, researchers and consumers, whose goal is to improve the quality of life for people with severe communication disabilities. It does this through research, education, networking, and information dissemination.
This grant is awarded to promote skill development in using augmentative/alternative forms of communication and assistive technologies in a country where little information or training currently exists. Eligible candidates are solicited who possess the appropriate education and background to currently serve children in special education settings, or to train teachers/therapists to work in these environments. This specialty training opportunity at the Bridge School enables the individual to return to their country and promote the use of AAC for children/adults who are currently being underserved.
