This course examines the basics of AAC assessment and the premise for matching AAC tools\, language\, physical accessibility needs and device types to avoid improper and/or ineffective placement of AAC. Participants will learn positive approaches to AAC assessment and coordination with all stakeholders to produce the best long-term out comes for consumers. The participants will be introduced to hands-on tools for assessment and will leave with resources that are available for computers\, tablets\, and in consumable form that can be immediately applied in their setting. \nHighlights\n\nPractical evidence-based assessment and re- assessment tools and strategies for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)\nIdentification of a range of functional communication deficits and underlying conditions that can benefit from AAC\nIntegrate learning to your SLP/PT/OT practice through case examples

SUMMARY:The Three Major Differences Seen in a Dyslexic Brain: Class 2 – Transformer Theory of Dyslexia - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nWe are living in a society where we are seeing more and more of our kids\, especially from a low socioeconomic background\, struggle with reading.   Why?  Is Dyslexia becoming more prevalent?  In this class we will not only develop an understanding of what Dyslexia is\,  but we will also identify and delve into one of the three major differences seen in a Dyslexic brain.   Class 2 examines the most challenging subtype of Dyslexia\, reviews testing and diagnosis\, and provides well researched treatment strategies to get the best treatment outcomes. \nCourse Objectives\nAt the end of this course\, the participant will be able to: \n\nExplain the Lateral Column Theory of Dyslexia and the areas of the brain affected.\nIdentify how this type of Dyslexia affects a student’s world\, their home\, community and classroom.\nDetermine what is the complete testing process for Dyslexia and why one test by itself cannot correctly identify Dyslexia.\nChoose a treatment plan and treatment strategies that address the primary challenges seen in dyslexia (reading\, spelling and writing) and the most common secondary challenges seen (visual perception\, cross dominance\, and ocular motility).\nSummarize why synchronization activities are essential for success and recognize the treatment progression for the most effective outcomes.
