Everyday Technology

Presenters: Janice Edmonson, M.S., CCC-SLP, and Shalene Hammons

April 9, 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

This course is designed for the novel technology user. Maximize the resources available to you! Use simple word processing or presentation software with students to expand your teaching repertoire and encourage struggling students to read, comprehend, write and utilize study skills. Each participant will leave with templates that can be customized to meet the needs of students. A hands-on lab will allow participants to experience these applications both individually and in an interactive group.

Language is the Key to Academic Success:  Focus on Preschool-Grade 4

Presenters: Monika Garner-Smith, M.Ed; Tammy Simmons, M.S., CCC-SLP; and Cindy Young, M.S.E., CCC-SLP

Date/Time TBD

Classic children’s literature is a valuable tool to enhance the language skills of language-impaired students. A multisensory framework will be demonstrated to enhance the oral and written communication skills of young students. Customizing the curriculum to organize the language for concepts across the curriculum allows students to not only participate in academics, but also learn information needed to excel. Participants will explore formats for presenting teaching materials to encourage language development and comprehension, as well as oral and written expression. Participants will receive a sample lesson demonstrating the therapy and teaching principles discussed in the training. [Note: Additional teaching and therapy materials will be available for purchase at this workshop.]

All classes are at the ACCESS Group Inc. Stella Boyle Smith Campus, 10618 Breckenridge Dr., Little Rock. Cost: $50 per person for a full-day seminar; $30 per person for a half-day seminar. Call 501-217-8600 for reservations, or complete and return the registration form.
