Welcome to Dana Sahian, SLP
Where Speech Language Pathology and Assistive Technology Come Together to Help People with Learning Differences.
Assistive Technology for ALL!!!!
Did you know?
You might be wondering what makes assistive technology different from ‘everyday’ technology? The line has become quite blurred over the last 10 years as assistive technology has entered more and more into the mainstream .
In the past, assistive technology systems were big, clunky and prohibitively expensive. Not only that, but the systems were hard to learn and even more frustrating to use.
Thankfully, today’s technology is a completely different story! Most assistive technology tools are already built into the technology you are using.
Do you see people dictating their text messages, or using predictive text when typing? I bet you know people who use digital calendars and reminders with notifcations. And then there are eBooks and audiobooks, taking pictures of the teacher’s notes, digital online textbooks, etc. These are all assistive technology tools!
The world has finally caught on that assistive technology is beneficial for everyone!
FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS, WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!
We are still here for you during this pandemic!
Students with diverse learning needs might be struggling more than ever with this new at-home learning. We have to remember that even though they are not in the classroom, their need for accommodations and modifications still exists. Parents, teachers and other caregivers, please feel free to contact us to see how we might be able to assist you!
We are all in this together!
SLP4ALL‘s Response to COVID-19
Update:
As of Oct. 14, 2020 we are continuing to provide service online via Zoom. We have developed effective techniques for both the assessment and training procedures and clients are reportedly enjoying the convenience of learning from home!
Previous Post
As of today (March 22, 2020), we are not providing any in-office/in-person sessions.
We will, however, be continuing to provide service using Zoom on-line technology!
True Fact: We have been providing on-line sessions for several years now to clients in remote communities and to clients in areas where Assistive Technology services do not exist, so this is not new to us!
Zoom is a great online tool that not only allows us to see each other, but also allows us to view each other’s screens, making it a perfect platform for on-line Assistive Technology training.
