Imagine families being able to do that with whatever device they have with them, whether it’s an Android, Apple, Windows, Kindle, etc. Imagine being able to do that FOR FREE.   Sounds too good to be true? Well, it’s not!   It’s possible with CoughDrop AAC, a web-based program that allows users to create dynamic and interactive communication boards that can be accessed by anyone with a smartphone or tablet.   In this session, you will learn… How to use CoughDrop AAC to create a playground communication board that can be printed on a sign and linked to a QR code.  How to scan the QR code with your device. How to create links on the electronic grid so different boards can be used in different stations on the playground such as swings, slides, and sandbox. These grids can also be printed and fixed around the playground equipment. How to customize the electronic display and update it as necessary.   In addition, you will learn… Strategies partners can use to help the communicator learn how to use the display around the playground and with others. Ways you can promote the use of communication boards in your community.  How to advocate for more inclusive and accessible playgrounds for everyone.   As a bonus, we will provide you with the PDFs of two grids we have already designed that you can print and install in your community playground.   Join us for this fun and informative session and learn how easy it is to make communication more playful and engaging on the playground with the help of CoughDrop AAC.","hangouts_link":"https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81315768479?pwd=dHZTd1RiZjlVYWNRZGR4cnpYY1gyZz09","live_attendees":41,"hours":1.0,"survey_link":"/surveys/B29A23","video_link":"/videos/UWpJNVFUSXo=","year":"2023","code":"B29A23","disabled":false}
