Assistive Technology must be play-based and appealing for young children. Appropriate assistive technology supports encourage children to explore and participate in literature, and use their imagination. Assistive technology may support their mobility and provide access to materials. Visual supports help them to understand what comes next or the steps in an activity. These supports must never take the place of engaging activities but should enhance participation and understanding. The following materials were created as examples of how supports could be added to normally occurring activities to enhance the participation of young children.
SEEC's Parent to Parent (P2P) program is a free and confidential service designed to connect Montgomery County parents and caregivers of children with special needs (age birth to 21) with trained volunteer mentors who have experience raising children with disabilities. It is based on the philosophy that peer support from veteran families is often the most helpful way to provide emotional support and practical information to parents in need. The P2P program connects parents on a one-to-one basis where contact may be made by phone, face-to-face, or via email.
