Come along to the 2-Day Introductory PODD Workshop for a must-have foundation in to PODD communication.
Pragmatic Organisation Dynamic Display (PODD) is a complete communication system for individuals who cannot meet all of their communication needs with speech. PODD enables genuine, autonomous communication in all daily environments for people who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Two Way Street has been helping people who use AAC, their families, friends and support networks for more than 10 years. Our highly trained Speech Pathologists work exclusively in AAC and our mission is to make our knowledge, skills and experience in AAC accessible to all.
This workshop is presented by Two Way Street Director and Senior Speech Pathologist, Janelle Sampson and the Two Way Street team. Janelle has more than 30 years as a practicing Speech Pathologist, is a certified PODD workshop presenter and provides training and consultation around AAC with many organisations across Australia. During the two workshop days you’ll learn language functions, navigation of different types of PODD, effective modelling and there’s plenty of time for hands-on practice and Q&A.
Get your ticket now if you’re keen to increase your understanding of and confidence in communicating with the PODD communication system.
“Remember that children will learn to use their (PODD) communication book in the way they experience others using their system to communicate”. Gayle Porter, 2007.
