Free Webinar on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Research
Designing Effective AAC Technologies for Beginning Communicators
PRESENTER: Janice Light, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Penn State University
DATE: Tues., January 10, 2012
TIME: 12:00 - 1:30 PM E.T.
SESSION FEE: No Charge
OVERVIEW: To date there are few guidelines to support clinicians and manufacturers on the design of effective AAC systems for beginning communicators. When AAC systems are well designed they may enhance communication and language outcomes for beginning communicators with complex communication needs. This webinar will present research results from recent studies that address the design of AAC technologies, and will suggest clinical guidelines to improve design based on this research. Each study will be presented briefly with a focus on research results and their implications for beginning communicators. Examples will be used to illustrate key points.
