Occupational and Physical Therapist Sue Shutrump returns to the TSD Conference in 2016 to provide her expertise and perspectives on various issues impacting transporting students with special needs.
A supervisor of OT and PT services for the Trumbull County Educational Service Center in Ohio, Shutrump’s workshop presentations always draw attendees, as she provides detailed information and suggested solutions to everyday challenges as well as unique situations. She also is a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician, and was the vice-chair of the Infants Toddlers and Preschoolers Operations Writing Committee for the 15th National Congress on Student Transportation held in May 2010, among other contributions to the student transportation industry.
Shutrump will be part of a general session focusing on rescue medications on the school bus. This session will provide an overview of the completed new guidance on rescue medications, which includes Diastat. She and other panelists will discuss what this means for training and collaboration. In another session, titled Developing Individualized Service and Support Plans, she will delve into how transportation departments can establish and foster collaboration with individual school sites, special education teachers, students and their families while also adequately training staff and disseminating required information through the IEP process.
Shutrump returns as a co-presenter of the OT/PT/Transporter Forum, addressing timely issues to wheelchair securement and occupant protection for students who use wheelchairs, as well as of the NHTSA Child Passenger Safety Restraint Systems on School Buses session, which provides CEU credits to those registered for this course.
Last but not least, Shutrump will present a new course to the TSD Conference. The Specialized Transportation Skills Assessment (PDS 803) is a four-hour, hands-on seminar with specific training on wheelchair lift activation, securement and more, while testing skills related to participation in a school bus roadeo. This course will be limited to 25 attendees for educational training purposes.
You don’t want to miss Shutrump and other TSD presenters, who will provide the “meat and potatoes” to attendees’ most pressing challenges and issues. All 2016 workshops by track can be viewed on the conference website.
We’ll see you in Louisville!
