Description

  • Evidence-based use of iPad® for improved speech and language, literacy, communication, social skills, executive function and more
  • Increase acquisition and mastery of skills through Apps individualized for students
  • Use Apps to enhance delivery services and teaching-learning contexts
  • Heighten student motivation on a daily basis
  • Walk away with your iPad® plan in place

Revolutionize your traditional therapy practices and use the iPad® to implement Universal Design for Learning across the disorder categories. Explore applications and techniques, making connections to evidence to support their use. Cases examples will highlight the relevance of specific techniques for disorder types, such as:

  • Articulation                
  • Receptive/Expressive Language                    
  • Fluency
  • Apraxia                                  
  • Pragmatics                                          
  • AAC
  • Phonology                  
  • Functional Communication                            
  • And more!

Increase your students’ mastery of skills by customizing slideshows, card sets, activity boards, and worksheets with images of the student, the setting(s) in their life and the names of siblings/ classmates/pets. Create powerful connections with teachers, parents and caregivers using Apps that provide data-tracking, printing and emailing capabilities and then can be used for repeated exposure or homework practice.

You will develop an action plan to guide future implementation of iPad® interventions and will learn how to select and evaluate Apps using a rubric. This hands-on program provides opportunities to learn and practice new technical skills that will optimize your use of the iPad®.

You do not need an iPad® to attend, but are welcome to bring one. Angie and Shannon will demonstrate Apps and more on an iPad®, displayed via an LCD projector.
