| Description |
There is no limit to the listening, language and learning possibilities for children in early intervention available through apps. Apps are common tools in auditory-verbal practices, clinics, schools and homes. If you own a device that runs apps, you have valuable resources at your fingertips (and at your child’s fingertips too!). This session will present strategies to engage, extend and expand on apps designed to promote vocabulary, listening and language from the beginning. The presenters will share their favorite apps through themes and/or goals to traditional books, songs, crafts, games and more. The session will provide attendees with ideas for making connections through apps to meaningful conversations and experiences, consider the pros and cons of using apps over traditional materials, and integrate ideas to adopt the benefits of both. Suggestions for “exploding ” the presenters’ favorite apps as well as key factors in choosing apps will be shared and discussed. The format of the session will be interactive using iPad apps, hands-on materials and audience participation
