Providing Ongoing Support and Technical Assistance

UALR. The Project PACE staff has provided continued support to FRC members by offering additional opportunities for faculty development, presenting at in-service workshops and faculty meetings, and sending information via a list serve. Technical assistance has also been provided upon request to individual FRC members.

UAPB. Project PACE extends invitations to the UAPB FRC to attend workshops offered at UALR and assists the disability services director at UAPB in obtaining resources for providing continuing education opportunities on that campus. Project PACE has also sponsored FRC members to attend statewide workshops and conferences.

Recommendations:

• Continue to maintain a presence with the FRC members through the provision of resources and faculty development opportunities on campus.

• Be available to support FRC members by assisting in making copies of materials or providing in-service workshops.

Conclusion

Providing faculty development opportunities on your campus, though it may require additional planning and efforts on the front end, can go a long way toward improving the quality of education that students with disabilities receive. The discussions and feedback that occurs can also serve to inform and improve the manner in which you provide services to students with disabilities in general.
