Two Day Introduction to PODD with Linda Burkhart

This two-day course will be presented virtually by Linda Burkhart, with live hands on support. The course will demonstrate the use of a Pragmatic Organization Dynamic Display (PODD) approach developed by Gayle Porter (Melbourne, Australia). Generic templates for multi-page “light tech” communication books have been carefully designed to support genuine communication for a variety of functions throughout the day. These templates may be customized for a range of access methods and other individual needs.

You will learn strategies for creating multi-modal language learning environments that provide receptive models and expressive opportunities for language development and strategies for teaching and using PODD with children and their communication partners. Participants will have an opportunity to explore the direct access books as well as some alternative access and alternate presentation version. Participants will also have guided hands-on practice with PODD Communication books and will be provided with many ideas of how to interact with students including hints on starting as a communication partner.

Thursday April 20, 2023 - 8:00 to 4:30. Registration at 7:30
