Prentke Romich Workshops in Port Angeles April 10-12th, 2007
Announcing Upcoming AAC Workshops in your Area
Prentke Romich Company’s
AAC Workshops
Whether you are trying to decide which communication system is appropriate or you
have already purchased a device, attending a training seminar is important. If you haven't
chosen a system yet, you will not only learn about the specific device but will be exposed
to other issues that you need to consider. If you've already purchased a device, you will
receive the in-depth device training you need to help you implement the system successfully.
These workshops are designed to provide the speech-language pathologist, facilitator,
parent, or other person interested in AAC a thorough understanding of the
communication device, its operation, and possible applications. It is expected that all
participants for Workshops #2-#4 have a basic understanding of Unity (Workshp #1).
Registration Information:
These classes are offered at no cost to you. However, registration is required.
To register, call Prentke Romich at 1-800-848-8008.
