[Trainer-Talk] adaptive tech qualifications

[Bryan Schulz]

Hi,
 
I appreciate seeing how others are willing to offer sources to learn vo/mac
over the last several days but want to ask a question.
Does anyone see an issue with reading a book and being able to call yourself
an adaptive technology trainer?
That's kin to watching judge Judy for six months and calling yourself a
lawyer.
I don't mean to criticize anyone but just think that adaptive tech trainers
or contractors should have to obtain nationally recognized certifications
instead of just reading keyboard commands or studying answers to the exact
questions asked during an interview with state agency staff then depend on a
district supervisor liking you in order to succeed or be forced to return to
your original state due to how clients are distributed.
