AAC - Learn more about Language

From: Pam Harris, pam_harris@comcast.net

Hi -I wanted to make sure you knew about an upcoming symposium on AAC, specifically language-based page sets.

On Friday, April 22 and Saturday, April 23rd,the two-day course coordinated by DynaVox but actually hosted by Easter Seals DuPage, will take place at the Aramark Center in Downers Grove, IL -a 20 minute drive from O'Hare airport.

This is truly a unique opportunity to hear first-hand, from the authors of language-based page sets that can be loaded onto a Dynavox device. (Bruno, Elder, and Inman!!!)

Why is Gateway a better option? Which version? How do I know my child is ready to progress to another version? Why are language page sets preferred to customized pages?

How can using a language-based page set support efficient and independent communication?

How do language-based page sets differ from prestored phrases and sentences?

The speakers are *very* skilled. The location is centrally located. The price is so reasonable. The information about language is absolutely important. All that's missing is you.

For a flyer with the specifics follow this link: aac.pdf

Help me spread the word. This is indeed a unique and not-too-be-missed learning experience.

Thanks and hope to see you there!
