Goodbye and Hello  
2009 is shaping up to be a year of great changes.  Some good, some not so good.  We said goodbye to Lynda Crouch and Coeise Scott this summer.  Lynda is now working in Bixby Public Schools as their occupational therapist and assistive technology consultant.  Coeise took a position back in her hometown public school of Berryhill.  She will be working with pre-school students and their special education teachers and will also be providing speech-language pathology services throughout the district.  Camber Moulton will be home most of the fall taking care of her new baby!  Congratulations Camber!!  And starting in September, Amanda Porter is taking on a new role as Project Director of a federally funded grant on power mobility use with young children.  She will be working out of the OATC building, so in some respects, we don't really have to say goodbye.   
We are pleased to introduce to you our newest AT consultant, Sheryl Hazelbaker!  Sheryl joins us from Mustang Public Schools and brings with her a trunk full of great ideas and experience working in the classroom.  We are excited to have her join our team! We do have an additional opening on our team for an energetic go-getter who is knowledgeable about assistive technology.  Please contact Stefanie Olson at stefanie-olson@ouhsc.edu for more information.  Or view the job description here: OUHSC Job Website
 

We LOVE Loc-Line.  What is Loc-Line you might ask???  It is a flexible, adjustable, modular hose system that can be used to create an inexpensive switch mount system.  We have a couple of these switch mount systems available to borrow through our equipment loan library. Linda Burkhart has a great handout on how to create your own Loc-Line switch mount system.  You can download the instructions here: Loc-Line Switch Mounts
