Apple's iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad
As Assistive Technology
Participants will be assigned an iPod Touch to use during the workshop for a unique hands-on experience. The workshop is geared to new users.
With technology advancing faster than most of us can adapt, it is often difficult to see the usefulness of the latest gadget. However the iPad and iPod Touch can be used for more than just listening to music or playing games. They offer great possibilities as assistive technology devices. From sign language to memory aides, there are applications for almost every need.
We will go over the different types of devices to choose from, how to operate the device including some hidden features, and how the the iPad and Ipod can be adapted for people with different types of disabilities. We will end the morning with a hands-on tour of some of our favorite applications.
- Participants will receive continental breakfast, head set and a resource guide as part of the registration fee.
