Improving Disability Awareness among Extension Agents
Mahadevan, Lakshmi; Peterson, Rick L.; Grenwelge, Cheryl
Journal of Extension, v52 n1 Article 1TOT5 Feb 2014
Increasing prevalence rates and legislative mandates imply that educators, parents, and Extension agents will need better tools and resources to meet the needs of special populations. The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service addresses this issue by using e-learning tools. Extension agents can take advantage of these courses to gain critical special populations-related knowledge as well as garner professional development credit.
