November 12th - Implementing AAC in the Classroom with Kelly Fonner, Consultant, Fonner Consulting & Training OVERVIEW: Challenges are often met when introducing AAC systems from the clinical or
"speech-room" setting into the busy environment of the classroom. The "real-world" of
communication does not always play out easily for the student using AAC. Whether they are using
lo-tech or hi-tech systems there are strategies that can assist staff and families in bringing AAC into
the school day. During this webinar you will learn to evaluate the AAC-using student's day by
communication contexts and reevaluate the possibilities of how your student can more effectively
communicate, learn vocabulary or communication strategies during the typical activities of their
school day.

Maximizing Independence and Safety During Daily Activities for Adults with Vision Impai... - 0 views
-
Click here to register for this webinar What:
Impairments in vision can result in decreased independence and safety during daily activities, including ADL, IADL, work, leisure, and social participation. Low vision rehabilitation addresses these needs for independence and safety through the optimization of residual vision, utilization of assistive technology, and adaptations to the environment to compensate for vision loss. The interaction between the person, the task, and the environment and finding the perfect balance between these key components can be challenging. This webinar will provide a greater understanding of how assistive technology can promote independence and safety during daily activities for adults with vision impairment with emphasis on understanding the dynamic interaction of person, task, and environment for clinical application. This session is intended to be at an introductory level and is appropriate for all levels of practice. When:

This webinar will address the basics when considering assistive technology (AT) into the Individual Education Plan (IEP) for students who are eligible for special education services in the public school setting. In this presentation, we will discuss the foundations of AT consideration and provide you with a process that can be used to consider whether or not a student with disabilities requires AT devices and services to receive a free, appropriate public education as required by law during the development of the student's Individualized Educational Program (IEP). We will closely look at four major steps in the process: Review present levels of performance and evaluation data; Develop goals and objectives; determine if any tasks are difficult or impossible for the student; and decide whether or not AT devices and services are required and document decisions.
