Free Recorded Webinar

Using Technology to Help People with Communication, Cognitive and Learning Challenges

I have been consulting with a number of rehabilitation facilities and graduate SLP programs to help them learn more about using technology to help others. Recently, I developed a 70 minute webinar for a group of graduate students and have decided to make it available to everyone for free. During the webinar, I provide a framework for using cutting edge affordable resources to improve communication and cognition to help a wide variety of adults and children. Please feel free to forward this info to others who might find it helpful. All you need to do is create a user name and password to view it.
