Webinar Series – “Exploring Assistive Technology and Augmentative and Alternative Communication”
Join the Illinois Assistive Technology Program (IATP) and Family Matters Parent Training and Information Center (FMPTIC) for this four-part series on Assistive Technology (AT) and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
The short, 30-minute sessions will introduce families and caregivers to the programs and services available through IATP, as well as the many options for AT and AAC.
The series will continue with “Exploring Assistive Technology and Augmentative and Alternative Communication” on Oct. 15. Participants can choose to attend:
- The afternoon session from 12 to 12:30 p.m.
- The evening session from 6:30 to 7 p.m.
Every child’s educational and communication needs are different. Understanding the types of AT/AAC available and how to obtain them can play an important role in empowering parents advocating for their child’s needs within the educational setting.
In this session, parents, caregivers, and others will learn about AT and AAC and begin exploring the potential benefits AT/AAC can offer children with various types of support needs.
The session is free and open to anyone who wants to learn about IATP, AT and AAC.
