Presentation Summary

This workshop is designed for individuals who are interested in improving the quality of instruction available to students who use alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) from inclusive situations to special education programs with a range of student ability levels from beginning communicators to independent communicators. First, we will examine the components needed for successful communication competence: social, linguistic, literacy strategic, and operational skills and how that impacts successful AAC use from a light to a high tech perspective. Next we will look at how to improve social conversational skills with AAC users. Vocabulary management and access to curricula material and the importance of easy participation in discussions will be addressed. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of building linguistic competence through a variety of literacy driven activities. In addition an integrated literacy instruction program for students and early literacy instructional strategies will be demonstrated. Ideas and strategies that promote and scaffold the independent use of AAC will be highlighted. This presentation is for professionals and paraprofessionals who are working with students K-12 who are using AAC or in need of AAC.

Supporting Transition with Assistive Technology

Thursday, January 20, 2011; 9:00 am – 3:00 pm

 

Workshop Summary:

This workshop will focus on transition planning for students who use assistive technology as they move to new teachers, placements or settings. We will begin with the assumption that IEP teams have already determined that a student with a disability requires AT and the student has been using that AT in the current educational setting. Even though the philosophy of AT transitions included in this workshop are associated to the transition planning that is required for students 16 and older in the Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004), the processes and strategies discussed will be appropriate for transitions of AT users at any age. We will also discuss how to involve families and students in their own transition process.
