"I"ing for Communication

The iPad has revolutionized the augmentative communication world and the way Speech Language Pathologists deliver articulation and language therapy to students and individuals. Despite easy access, we need to know the range of applications, how to judge and apply the technologies that are available, how to integrate the application and make them work in the world of learning.

The Institute’s Indiana Resource Center for Autism, in conjunction with Hamilton-Boone-Madison Special Services Cooperative, is offering six training opportunities in the months of August and September.

Attendees will be able to:
· Identify how to use the devices for augmenting communication;
· Learn how technology can create content, share knowledge and build and support relationships;
· Learn how to incorporate technology into articulation and language therapy;
· Identify the applications for augmentative communication including those that focus on core vocabulary; and
· Identify the applications for articulation and language therapies.
