AAC Disaster Relief

 Hey Tek-ninjas! We are already in hurricane season here on the East coast, and on the West coast they are well into fire season. With that in mind, I wanted to make sure folks are aware that the The United States Society for AAC provides free disaster relief for lost/damaged AAC devices.

 Hey Tek-ninjas! As an artist... and a Tobii Dynavox representative I have to say that I love everything about this!

Carry on being you.

Learning Hub UPGRADE!

Hey Tek-ninjas! If you have been reading my blog, you know that I'm a big fan of the Tobii Dynavox Learning Hub. Well... it has gotten even better! Today the Tobii Dynavox Learning Team announced that the new and improved Learning Hub experience is now live. I've said it before... even if you use other AAC interventions - this resource is a gold mine, and you owe it to yourself and your clients to familiarize yourself with it.... much of the content generalizes beautifully. And if you find yourself coming back to the Tobii Dynavox eco-sphere repeatedly... .well, welcome!

The Learning Team has rolled out a ton of new content including recorded webinars, interviews with experts, quick guides, short video clips, and eLearning courses that provide ASHA CEUs on the new Learning Hub. 

I've worked with several school teams and clinics who use these courses like a book club, watching the content together or separately, ad then discussing together. This might be a good option for your respective team. I also often direct caregivers or family members to content when they are eager to learn more. 

I can tell you as an Occupational Therapist, AOTA accepted all of the CEU's for my national license as well. The Learning Team indicates that they are continually adding new content, including two new courses that provide ASHA CEUs coming next week.

Log into learn.tobiidynavox.com using your same account and the same process. If you run into a jam for any reason contact the Learning Team.   

What a tremendous resource! Happy therapy!
