Individuals
who have visual impairments (CVI, low vision, blind), and are non-speaking may
benefit from the LAMP therapy approach. This webinar will provide an overview
of LAMP Words for Life -VI, and demonstrate how it can be used to provide a
robust and flexible language system for individuals who have vision
impairments. Strategies, modifications and case study videos will be shared.
Participants will walk away with ideas they can implement right away!
Prior attendance of a "1-Day LAMP" and the "Moving
Forward" classes (www.aacandautism.com)
are helpful, but not mandatory.
Participants will be able to:
- Identify the 5 Key Elements of LAMP and how they apply to individuals with visual impairments.
- Describe adaptations and device modifications that may improve the success of their clients who have visual impairments and who are learning how to communicate using AAC.
- Apply specific strategies to teach individuals with visual impairments how to communicate using AAC.
