Speech-Language Pathology Statewide Learning Series
Bliss Tactile Symbols: Another Tool for your AAC Toolbox




Continuing education is a requirement for speech-language pathologists (SLPs).  The SLP must stay up to date on the latest in therapy and research. The Speech-Language Pathology Statewide Learning Series is designed to address current issues, best practices and intervention strategies for SLPs in the field.

 


Important Session Information:


Presenter: Shannon Paige, M. A., CCC-SLP

Description: Bliss tactile symbols are a new generation of tactile symbols that are brought together through the use of 3D-printing and the use of the established symbol system, Blissymbolics. These tactile symbols are easy to print and consistent. They are beneficial to support communication with non-speaking individuals who are blind, deaf/blind, or visually impaired, as well as students with complex communication needs. This session will introduce the Bliss tactile symbols, provide a brief history, describe the benefits, and provide implementation strategies.
