Written By Janice Reese





We are all struggling to reach out to our students and their families who need AAC support during school closures.  We don’t want to lose ground waiting for the next school year to start but it’s hard to provide support without that interactive component. So, I am so excited about an upcoming (FREE) webinar that will look at tips to make teletherapy for AAC users engaging, effective, and manageable!

If there is a hidden benefit of remote learning, it has to be the increased involvement of parents and caregivers. This session will help you plan for coaching and carryover of skills, teach you how to structure your online lessons, make engaging videos with AAC modeling, and involve parents and caregivers in sessions that they can easily recreate the later at home.

This session is designed for speech-language pathologists and educators who are interested in learning how to structure and manage online learning while keeping it engaging and fun!  Click HERE to register

Presented by Sarah Gregory, M.S., CCC-SLP

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”.
