The last session I attended today was by Ds mom Kate Dougherty. She is the President and Founder of 'Down Country'. She spoke about using creativity in our thinking when using technology with our kids. There are so many free and inexpensive apps and tools we now have access to. I can't begin to reiterate her presentation, as it was a long series of web sites and tech tool information. I'll just list a few for you, and if you need more info, please contact me and I can send you the listing given on the compendium.
She advocates using whatever tools work for your child. Sometimes we hear specialists and/or therapists say that we should only use one program, but if something works for our kids and allows them to learn or communicate, then use them! Every child is unique, and every learning need will be unique. It seems like sometimes it is forgotten that the I in IEP means individualized.
