Pragmatic Organization Dynamic Display (PODD) is a way of organizing whole word and symbol vocabulary in a communication book or speech generating device to provide immersion and modeling for communication development. People with complex communication needs use PODD to select and organize symbols and communicate more easily with communication partners. PODD has been particularly successful for individuals for whom speech is difficult as a result of a physical or multiple impairments or ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders).
This course aims to build on current knowledge and fluency using PODD communication books for those who have begun to implement these strategies with students. Focus will be on building fluency, refining observational assessment and implementation planning skills, and strategies for training communication partners. The course will also provide opportunities for problem-solving more complex challenges. Content will include case studies from participants.
