Tech for Tykes

May is National Speech-Language-Hearing month! We celebrate all of the audiologists and speech-language pathologists out there, especially our loan library patrons and AT Consultants. Thank you for all that you do! Our loan library includes a large variety of assistive technology to support the development of hearing and communication skills in young children under the age of 3. To learn more about these items or to check one out, visit our library here: https://bit.ly/TforTLibrary. Happy Speech-Language-Hearing month!

The Tech for Tykes team has released our highly-anticipated IFSP Quick Guide! This guide is intended to help Colorado providers and service coordinators document assistive technology on the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). There are two versions of the guide–a desktop version and a mobile version. The desktop version includes an easily-navigable decision tree, while the mobile version offers a scroll-based structure to accommodate cell phone access. Check out our Quick Guide to learn all about the IFSP documentation process! https://www.ucdenver.edu/center-for-innovative-design-and-engineering/community-engagement/tech-for-tykes---early-intervention-colorado/ei-resources/twine-embed

Assistive Technology is... making new friends. 💛
