Inclusive Learning Technologies® Conference 2010

What is the Inclusive Learning Technologies® Conference 2010 about?

This conference (hosted by Spectronics) focuses specifically on "inclusive learning technologies" - technologies designed to advance independent achievement for people with disabilities and/or students with learning difficulties. It includes sessions looking at these technologies in the following three interest streams.

*What do we mean by "struggling students"? Here we are talking about students who are in Regular Ed settings but are struggling to keep up with the reading, writing or organisational tasks required of them. These students may be struggling because of learning difficulties. Alternatively, they could be one of the growing number of ESL (English as a Second Language) students in our schools and post-secondary institutions.

Keynote Speaker: Caroline Musselwhite

Dr Caroline Musselwhite EdD, CCC/SLP, is a Speech Language Pathologist and an Assistive Technology Specialist with more than 25 years experience working with children and adolescents with severe disabilities. She has lectured at universities, authored books and software programs, and is a founding member of the Board of Directors for the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC). She is a truly dynamic and inspirational presenter whose enthusiasm for her work is catching! To quote Jane Farrall (Spectronics' AAC Support Services Manager) after her attendance at one of Caroline's workshops at a recent ISAAC Conference, "I think Caroline could read the phone book and still inspire me!" Caroline was last in Australia (for the Spectronics and ZYGO Australia Assistive Technology Summits held way back in 2000). Many people have asked us to bring her back ... so ten years later - Caroline will be back with us and ready to share her wealth of knowledge and her motivational presentation style!
