Unlocking Communication: Low-Tech Strategies for Language and Literacy Success

Presented by:

 Beth Poss, M.A., CCC/SLP Speech Language Pathologist

March 18, 2025
12:00 PM – 12:45 PM CST

All too often students with complex communication needs do not (yet!) have access to high tech, robust communication devices. However, this lack of access to a device does not have to derail opportunities for communication and literacy instruction. Join us for an exploration of ways to use robust low tech communication systems to support language and literacy during Shared Reading, Predictable Chart Writing, Alphabet Study, Making Words and more! All participants will learn about free resources to provide communication support to ANY learner who needs them.
