THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO LOW ENROLLMENTS.

Students who use alternative means for communication frequently don’t have the means to truly communicate what they are thinking.
They may not have all of the vocabulary they need and they are limited by what others have programmed into their system, even those that are "high tech".
PODD (Pragmatic Organization Dynamic Display) Communication Books may be low tech, but they have the capability to support AAC users who are emerging to fully competent communicators.They are so much more than "communication books"

Come learn about the “PODDsibilities” of this system. Participants will leave with “starter” PODD systems to use with students.
