Girl Power 2 Cure
Breaking! We have a new Rett University live webinar on the books for next Thursday the 13th. Register here: rettu.digitalchalk.com/dc/learn/live-webinar-play-leisure-activities-preschool-to-adults

As a parent, do you often wish that you had more ways for your son or daughter to engage in play or leisure activities on their own or with you, siblings, friends and/or relatives? Would you love for your son or daughter to have more independent control over toys, games, or other everyday activities rather than always relying on hand-over-hand support? If you answered yes to one or both of these questions, then the new live Rett University webinar is for you!

Our instructor Judy Lariviere, M.Ed., OTR/L will guide us in a discussion about the ever important topic of play and leisure. Can't wait to see you!

Thursday, December 13th

5:30 – 6:30 PM PACIFIC

7:30 - 8:30 PM CENTRAL

8:30 – 9:30 PM EASTERN

In this live webinar, you will be inspired as you learn about new tools and strategies you can use to give your son or daughter increased independence in activities including, but not limited to, reading/listening to books, arts and crafts, taking photos, mealtime preparations, games, etc. Strategies for supporting quick and easy set-up will also be outlined so you can have other family members or caregivers set things up for your son or daughter. A few of the activities presented involve the use of Tobii Dynavox’s Communicator 5 through touch screen or eye gaze technology. Others include web-based games, which can be accessed through a single switch or eye gaze technology. Although you will walk away from this webinar with many ideas, you will be sure to find one that will be the easiest or most fun to introduce to your son or daughter. A resource list with links to toys and tools will be included in the course.

This live webinar will have a format of a 45-minute presentation followed by questions from participants for the rest of the hour or so.

ACCESS TO THE WEBINAR WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE 15 MINUTES BEFORE START TIME AND CAN BE FOUND IN YOUR CURRENT COURSES FOLDER OF YOUR RETT U ACCOUNT.
