What is PODD Training...?

· Children who are nonspeaking or have only limited speech, in addition to other challenges, often struggle to interact and communicate.  This may include children who have physical disabilities, multiple disabilities, sensory processing challenges, limited social interactions skills, and/or a range of cognitive limitations and learning difficulties.

· This two-day course will demonstrate the use of a Pragmatic Organization Dynamic Display (PODD) approach developed by Gayle Porter (Melbourne, Australia).  Generic templates for multipage “light tech” communication books have been carefully designed to support genuine communication for a variety of functions throughout the day.  These templates may be customized for a range of access methods and other individual needs. 

· Come learn strategies for creating multimodal language learning environments that provide receptive models and expressive opportunities for language  development.  Learn strategies for teaching and using PODD with children and their communication partners.  Videos and case examples will be shared.

· Participants will have an opportunity for hands-on practice with  PODD Communication books.
