In this session, participants will be exposed to a full range of low, mid, and high tech tools (including the use of color, hand held devices, computers, and assistive software) designed to help students function more independently and successfully. Following the belief that people need to know what is available before making choices, this presentation will help participants match needs and strengths to tools; learn about establishing an entire collection of tools to meet variable needs, tasks, and environments; and find out where to get the tools as well as the necessary training. Finally, the presentation will examine the pros and cons of many of the current technologies in order to provide the participants with the best and most thorough options and strategies to consider when making individual or program choices for assistive technology. Low and mid tech tool "kits" custom built for participants on request for an additional fee - see LoTTIE Kit lists for available tools. Quotes available on request. This presentation is both very appropriate for and works well with large groups.
We now also offer a specialized form of the Low to High Tech Tools talk entitled The AT Continuum: Low to High Tech Tools for Augmentative Communication. Like the regular AT Continuum presentation, this presentation emphasizes low and mid tech tools for speech and language pathologists. The high tech tools mention dynamic display devices but focus more on specific teacher software tools for language development as well as student use software to develop language, speech, and auditory skills.
