Support International Teachers-in-Residence
The International Teacher-in-Residence grant is a philanthropic award presented bi-annually to a professional from a country where training in the use of assistive technology (AT) and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is limited.
This program furthers The Bridge School’s mission of disseminating effective teaching and communication strategies to the global community by providing training and promoting skill development to an individual who is committed to disseminating what they have learned during their year-long residency when they return to their home country. We seek candidates who possess the appropriate education and background to serve children in special education settings, or to train teachers/therapists to work in these environments. The specialty training opportunity at The Bridge School enables the individual to return to their country and promote the use of AACfor children/adults who are currently being underserved.
The residency is presented in collaboration with the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC). ISAACis an international nonprofit organization made up of professionals, families, manufacturers, researchers and consumers, whose goal is to improve the quality of life for people with complex communication needs through research, education, networking, and information dissemination.
