The Family Voices National Center for Family and Professional Partnerships is hosting this webinar presented by Suzanne M. Bronheim, PhD of Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development. Suzanne will share findings from a 2010 research partnership with three Family-to-Family Health Information Centers (F2F HICs) to better understand how Hispanic/Latino families' and African American families' utilization of F2F HICs might be increased. This research project is based on a social marketing theory that suggests that people try new things if that "innovation" fits with their values and experience, seems to have an advantage over other approaches, is easy to use, can be tried and dropped if they don't like it and if others they know and trust are also aware of it and have used it. The project has used this framework to study how Hispanic/Latino and African American families prefer to receive information and how they view the F2F HICs as a resource. In addition, this project has studied similar issues for the social networks of families to learn how they view and access F2F HICs. Suzanne will be joined by staff of the F2F HICs that partnered in this project to share lessons learned and suggestions of how other F2F HICs can use this framework.  

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.
