What: Identifying intervention strategies and applications for persons with complex communication needs remains a challenge. Multimodal approaches to AAC intervention within naturalistic environments provide significant opportunities for cultivating intentionality and supporting language acquisition. This series of webinars will aid in gaining insight into utilization of symbols for teaching and shaping behaviors that function as meaningful and appropriate communication. Participants will learn strategies for employing symbols and technology to support the four main purposes of communication: expressing wants and needs, developing social closeness, exchanging information and fulfilling social routines.
Course 1 - June 21, 2011 - Unleash the Power of Augmentative and Alternative Communication

The iPad is revolutionizing the field of speech-language pathology and giving those who have been without a voice the ability to communicate their needs and desires. It is also an invaluable tool for teaching the special needs population. The 4-hour workshop will provide an overview of how the iPad can be used to enhance the communication skills of children with communication deficits and delays. After an initial introduction, participants will have the option to participate in a session involving hands-on training activities with the iPad or to learn more about specific iPad applications that address areas of communication needs (augmentative communication, language, social skills, articulation, auditory processing, engagement and reinforcement). Treatment videos will be used to enhance learning. The audience will leave feeling empowered to use the iPad in all settings -- at home, school, therapy, and in the community. When:
