I offer trainings on the following topics relevant to the needs of people with learning disabilities and learning differences. Most trainings are about 90 minutes long, and I am happy to customize them to fit the needs of your group -- so just use the topics below as a starting point!
These overviews are designed to not be "vendor shows" -- that is, my goal is not to simply show what this or that device or program does. Rather, I start with the learning barriers that students encounter (e.g., slow reading, poor organization, difficulty writing), then couple these with generic features and approaches which address these barriers. My goal is to familiarize participants with options, clarify distinctions between products, and show how individual features reduce or work around obstacles to learning.
I work with both Macs and Windows PCs, so I strive to touch on applications for both platforms which illustrate the various features.
As you can see, some of these topics make natural combinations -- for example, a longer class on AT for Reading and Writing, or one for Notetaking, Study, and Organization. If you would like to see additional topics, please feel free to contact me with suggestions.
