Resources for Supporting TN Students with Disabilities During COVID-19

The rapidly evolving challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including statewide school closures, have caused countless disruptions for educators across Tennessee as they strive to support their students with disabilities while working remotely.

UT CLEE was honored to collaborate with other TDOE Special Populations grantees providing services to special populations within public schools to identify, develop, and share resources that educators can use to serve their students and families well. UT CLEE ‘s contribution to this collection is our Self-Advocacy and Career Planning and our Transition IEP development resources.

The full online resource collection  provides both full text online, as well as in printable format (linked below).

  1. Information sheet for educators
  2. Information sheet for families
  3. One-page reference guide for families

Please join CLEE in giving thanks to all the organizations involved in this project:

Holding meaningful events & training during periods of social distancing due to COVID-19 is not an insurmountable feat.

On March 19, 2020, during a heightened period of concern due to the potential spread of the corona virus (COVID-19), multiple musicians held a concert for a worldwide audience. This concert was made possible by innovative use of virtual platforms to livestream each musician.

With over 20 years of online training and event experience, UT CLEE is eager to assist you in developing, executing, and evaluating events, meetings, and transformative learning through a variety of virtual platforms and online tools
