Inclusive on Tour!
Are we visiting your city?
Watch out for Inclusive visiting your city as part of the popular CAMA workshop tour. See a huge range of software, access devices and communicators from around the world, all in one day, at a convenient location and at a low cost!
The CAMA Workshop Tour
The Communication Aid Manufacturer's Association (CAMA) is a recognized leader in helping consumers and assistive technology professionals learn about innovations and applications. A CAMA AAC Workshop is an affordable and convenient opportunity for professionals, clinicians and consumers to learn how to help people use the latest AAC technology.
Each full day will help experienced professionals, as well as new clinicians, administrators, teachers and special educators, learn about the diversity of AAC hardware and software, distinguish between the type of products offered and understand their applications. Plus, you save time, airfare, lodging, tips, taxi fare, and the expense of meals, and you can earn ASHA CEUs as well.
The Inclusive Presentations
The Inclusive presentations cover a huge range of software, access devices and communicators from around the world, suitable for learners of any age. Practical demonstrations will show how they can help learners with multiple disabilities and there will be a session about computer access for users who have visual impairments and additional difficulties.
This is a great way to learn about developing switch skills: from cause and effect and switch timing to choice making. You can also see a range of programs that can be used with either one (single) or two (double) switches. You will learn how two-switch operation can give access to students who struggle with traditional single switch scanning.
Of special interest will be the new Scan4, a message output device that is also a great introduction to switch scanning activities. It has single or two switch scanning with variable settings. Bright scanning lights and auditory scanning also help learners to understand scanning activities and choice making.
The new AMDI Tech II environmental control unit allows the learner to turn up to four mains appliances on and off, with speech output. So, using the device, an individual can speak, 'turn on the light' and see it happen - and without the need for wires!
Another Inclusive session will show how to make any computer accessible using alternatives to the mouse and standard keyboard, such as joysticks, rollerballs and specialized keyboards. There will be lots of hints about using IntelliKeys to benefit the less able learner and inventive ideas on using tactile overlays.
