NWACS AAC Learning Network meeting (May 2024)

Join us for our May NWACS AAC Learning Network virtual event!

TOPIC: Assistive Technology Tools to Support Comprehensive Literacy

We continue with the theme of literacy. Amy and Sara will share examples of Assistive Technology (AT) supports that are frequently used as part of a comprehensive literacy program.  These include the range of no-tech, lite-tech, and high-tech tools such as

  • core boards,

  • AAC systems,

  • alternative pencils,

  • eye gaze frames,

  • voice output switches for Partner Assisted Scanning (PAS)

  • as well as some software tools such as Clicker, Tar Heel, and Epic.

Different tools will be described in the context of case studies that represent a range of student literacy levels.

Speakers: Amy Connolly and Sara Ayars
