Helping Clients Succeed with Smart Technology
"There's an app for that?" We've all heard or uttered that phrase before, likely in lieu of discovering an app that either enhances your daily productivity or destroys it with a meaningless time waster. While our incorporation of technology continues to widen in our personal lives, have you ever thought, "Is there an app for that?" in the work you do with clients—more specifically, clients with special needs? More often than not, the answer is, "Yes, there's an app for that!" Yet sifting through the plethora of apps available can be a daunting and time-evaporating task. Besides, isn't it easier to lean solely on tried and true traditional interventions?
Cut through the clutter and discover immediate, engaging apps and other technological strategies you can use for your clients with executive dysfunction, autism, and/or learning disabilities. This hands-on course provides you with the resources and treatment tools to enhance organization, attention, behavioral, and emotional control in school-age children and young adults.
