Two Day Introductory Workshop
July 11-12, 8:30-4:30
$250 per person; $200 per team member from the same school or program, $150 for families of those with complex communication needs
Children who have complex communication needs 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 interaction skills, and/or a range of cognitive abilities. This two day course will demonstrate the use of a Pragmatic Organization Dynamic Display (PODD) approach developed by Gayle Porter (Melbourne, Australia). Come learn strategies for creating multi-modal language learning environments that provide receptive models and expressive opportunities for language development.
