Every Move Counts: Sensory-based Strategies for Identifying Appropriate Technological Interventions for Individuals with Severe and Profound Differences
The successful use of any technology is directly dependent on the consumer's needs, abilities and motivation. The greatest likelihood of success for any technology occurs when the consequences of the effort are intrinsically motivating and intervention builds on abilities. This workshop will present a systematic method for assessing individuals with severe developmental differences in order to identify abilities and interests on which functional technological applications can be developed. Using videotaped examples, participants will be presented with an objective and systematic way to gather the information necessary to determine: 1) Individual technological needs, 2) Optimum access methods, 3) Intrinsically motivating events, 4) Functional vocabulary & symbol system(s) for overlay development, 5) Appropriate goals & objectives, 6) Implementation strategies, and 7) Data collection formats for monitoring progress. Participants will receive a current edition of Every Move Counts, Clicks and Chats. Session and materials costs partially funded through state or federal grants.
