Grants, Online Interactive Training and New Life Coaching Program   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3894 of 4113 |
Dear Colleagues,
 
I am writing to share with you information about 3 new initiatives of mine. I would really appreciate it if you could share the information below with families and other therapists and rehab and education professionals. The purpose for each of the initiatives is to help  people who are interested in learning how to use technology to improve communication, thinking and overall quality of life. Many therapists and families want to learn more about how to use technology to maximize progress but don't know where to begin, have limited time and a limited budget.  The awards and online training/coaching programs provide "just in time" individualized teaching and interactive support to maximize the learning process related to software selection and implementation and finding helpful local and online resources. No prior computer experience is necessary and there is no need to travel.
 
I am awarding 15 grants, starting a new distance life coaching program for families, and launching a new online interactive training program for professionals. Never a dull moment!
 

Innovative Technology Treatment Solutions Awards for Professionals and Families- Free Resource Guide and One Hour Phone Consult

I am offering 15 awards in honor of Better Speech and Hearing Month and Stroke Awareness Month. The purpose of the ITTS Award will be to help recipients zero in quickly on the most appropriate technology  to enhance talking, reading, writing, thinking, learning and memory in their situation.

The ITTS Award includes a 1-hour phone consultation and a free copy of "Technology for Communication and Cognitive Treatment: The Clinician's Guide"  (www.ittsguides.com) . It will be awarded to 10 professionals and 5 family members.

Send an email to Joan@... for an application. Learn more about the using technology to enhance treatment at  www.innovativespeech.com. Applications will be accepted thru May, 2008. Recipients of the awards will be announced in June.

TWIST  for Life (Technology with Innovative Speech Therapy)
Distance Life Coaching to Improve Communication, Cognition and Learning
 

A variety of online life coaching packages are available. The primary goals of TWIST for Life are to provide information and resources for families to enhance the development of specific communication, literacy and cognitive skills, develop alternative and compensatory strategies with a heavy emphasis on the most appropriate technology and access community and online resources. Sessions can take place in person in Potomac, MD, on the phone, or online with video conferencing and/or application sharing. Families discuss their situations with Joan and provide pertinent reports and information. Joan then brainstorms potential solutions and shows them the most effective and affordable resources and software programs that are selected for their situation. They watch Joan demonstrate the use of the products on their monitors and give the software a try. Joan is able to configure computers to optimize progress from a distance.

 

TWIST at a Distance for Professionals- Online Coaching and Training

Professionals who work with adults who have had strokes or head injuries and those who work with children who have developmental and acquired communication, learning and cognitive challenges often want to know how to use technology to enhance outcomes, make work more enjoyable, increase revenue, and create effective home practice programs. TWIST at a Distance for Professionals was created for the busy therapist who wants to get up and running quickly with the most appropriate technology to improve service delivery. This new program empowers therapists with the knowledge of quality affordable resources and techniques to improve treatment without the expense and time involved with travel. High speed online access is required. Email Joan@ innovativesepeech.com for more information. A variety of packages are available.

 

Thanks for your help:)

 

Have a great day-

Joan
