Communication Round Up
with Kim Howard
Do you support students with autism or complex needs who have difficulty communicating? Spend the day exploring practical ways to support communication through augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
This will be a hands-on, play-based training where you’ll do more than just hear about assistive technology—you’ll use it. We’ll dig into the Ashland RTC technology closet, pull out a variety of communication supports and AT devices, and put them to work through meaningful, interactive activities.
You’ll have opportunities to explore different communication options, consider how they can be used during everyday routines and play, and build your confidence in choosing supports that meet individual student needs.
Come ready to play, explore, try things out, and learn by doing. You’ll leave with practical resources, ideas, and tools to help you get started supporting communication in your classroom.
When: November 13th
Place: ACTC, Room L269
Time: 9:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m. (5 hours professional learning credit)
Lunch will be provided!
