Smarty Ears CEO Presenting in New York in Fall 2014

If you are in the New York area and want to become proficient at using the iPad for speech and language therapy, don’t miss Barbara’s workshop, Understanding and Setting Up the iPad as a Therapy Tool, in New York City on October 26, 2014.

Course description

This workshop gives speech-language pathologists a wealth of information about the iPad’s powerful features and possibilities. Many built-in features make “iDevices” accessible and flexible, which opens up possibilities for all students, and especially for students with disabilities. You will learn to use the built-in features, find appropriate apps and explore accessories to maximize learning.

The iPad is more than a device. It is a game changer for SLPs and teachers, for parents and, most importantly, for children. To make the most of it, you need to understand the basics of the “iWorld”: updating the operating system, buying and updating apps, using accessibility features and knowing the key features that make it an invaluable tool. Attendees will also explore privacy and student confidentiality, and accessories for the iPad.

This is a hands-on workshop that gives participants what they need to use the iPad effectively as an educational and therapy tool. Participants are encouraged to bring their iPads; for those without one, iPads will be shared.
