Written By Janice Reese


Implementation can be the trickiest piece of getting things to work out with AAC.  Are you looking for a great (free) webinar session that offers information about how to overcome some of those challenges?  Looking for some free ASHA CEUs to go along with it?  Well, here you are!

The clinicians at Vanderbilt University Medical Center have taped the second video Martha Lynch Lecture. This will be offered as a live-to-self continuing education activity for 3 hours of instruction and also offers the option of earning  0.3 ASHA CEUs. The link to view the activity is here

The presenters are four senior SLPs at Vanderbilt’s Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences: Denise Bryant, Kerry Hankins, Claire Campbell, and Amanda Oakes.

Once you have viewed the video, if you would like a certificate of attendance, please send me your name and indicate three things you learned that you will use in your practice.

If you would also like ASHA credit, please email Kate Carney Kate.carney@vumc.org with the following information:

  • Your ASHA number

  • Your mailing address or email address.
    Your “Three Things Learned” is our paper trail that proves you viewed the video. The certificate of attendance sent back to you is your paper trail that we have you listed as an attendee.

 

IMPORTANT: This video will be available for credit for a year. Credit will be uploaded to ASHA quarterly, so it will not necessarily hit your transcript quickly. I will upload credit on September 30, December 31, March 31, and June 30. For 2020 credit, view and complete process before end of December.

At least one more virtual presentation will be taped and distributed in the fall.

Please let Kate Carney know if you have any questions: Kate.carney@vumc.org

My name is Janice Reese and I LOVE assistive technology! I worked as an Occupational Therapist for more than 15 years, earned a Master’s degree in Education Technology, and I’m RESNA certified as an Assistive Technology Profession (ATP). I have worked in the school system for many years now and I love using technology to enhance the lives of children with disabilities. Since my first love is teaching, I’ve spent just as much time training wonderful teachers everywhere to use these tools in their classrooms. AT4Kids, llc was founded in 2008 in an effort to provide quality instruction and resources for teachers, therapists, student users and parents who wanted to know more about using AT.

I currently serve as Director of the Center for Assistive Technology, a state-supported program of the Little TN Valley Educational Cooperative. LTVEC is a non-profit agency whose goal is to provide rehabilitation services and accessibility supports for students with special needs in east Tennessee. My AT4Kids blog is designed to be as a one-stop resource for ideas and information for those wanting to learn more about the use of AT with children in the special education setting.

I hope to offer helpful hints, program and product reviews, AT recommendations, links to great new finds on the web, and lists of resources for “all things AT”.
