You will learn:
No, there will be PODD books available for the practice sessions, and there will be a variety of PODD books on display for you to look at during breaks.
The main focus of this workshop is for PODD communication books, however the ideas learnt can be transferred across to using with a PODD app on tablet or iPad.
No prior knowledge is needed, just a desire to learn more about PODDs!
Even if you already use a PODD with your child or client, this workshop is a great opportunity to develop a more detailed understanding about PODD language organisation and how to support the implementation of a PODD communication book. This workshop is also a pre-requisite to enable further PODD training to be undertaken (e.g. 1 Day PODD Alternative Access Training).
