Society has seen a recent surge in advanced technology that may have the potential for important daily use in speech-language pathology and special education. The Apple iPad® is a revolutionary instrument that is important for today’s speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and special educators to understand and access.

Applications for the iPad® can be used in seamless ways to deliver services across all disorder categories. iPad® applications can be time-saving and help streamline indirect services and compliance activities.

More than that, the iPad® can be used in revolutionary ways that were not possible until now. Needing to evaluate, acquire, and learn new technology requires speech-language pathologists and special educators to take this uninterrupted opportunity to learn and chart a course on how to use the iPad® in their direct and indirect services.

This seminar is designed to define iPad® technology (including technical specifications of the iPad® and related peripherals), demonstrate the potential revolutionary impact of the iPad® on education and speech-language pathology, and present an evidence-based practices approach for evaluating and using iPad® software applications for direct and indirect practices. Participants will be engaged in practical, hands-on practice throughout the day as they learn iPad® essentials, explore Apps, and use a rubric to evaluate the effectiveness of various iPad® applications. In addition, participants will create their personal iPad® Plans as the day evolves.
