Maine Learning Technology Initiative

Webinar: Thursday, January 28th at 3:15pm and 7:15pm.

Students who have limited verbal skills or are nonverbal can benefit from AAC, which includes wide-ranging strategies and tools. Simple forms of AAC include expressions accomplished through facial and bodily gestures, symbols or pictures, and writing. More complex forms of AAC include high tech electronic devices. Regardless of the form, AAC enables students to express what they know and can do, which can lead to increased social interaction, self-confidence, and learning success. Our guest, Deb Dimmick of ALLTech, will share her experience of working with students, families, and educators to successfully implement AAC in learning environments. Focus will be specific to options for the MLTI MacBooks.
