PODCASTS: Practical Access and AI Advocates
Practical Access
Drs. Lisa Dieker and Rebecca Hines professors at the University of Central Florida in the College of Community Innovation and Education have worked with schools and parents across the country. They take a fun and informal look at "practical" situations from teachers, parents, and people with disabilities. Our approach is fast, flexible thinking about "real" life problems. This podcast is not about the "legal" approach, but our best advice from both personal and professional experience.
