Tami,

 

Thank you for your question.  We planned this first workshop to be highly interactive.  We want people to have an opportunity - as much as possible - for an "eyes on" opportunity with all the eye gaze technology being presented as well as a demonstration of a BCI.  Unfortunately, we don't think a video webinar will offer the same interactivity.

 

However, we are planning to record some of the didactic content for later viewing and summarize the  information, but without the live experience.  Also, we have been asked by several people to expand to more alternative access methods and more than 1 day.

 

This first workshop was motivated to address in as timely a manner the need for information given new rules and policies, etc.

It just isn't possible for me to attend in person at this time.

Will there be video recordings we could purchase or pay a fee to watch?

Hi everyone,

 

I wanted to remind everyone that early bird registration savings are still available for the Saturday, October 25th workshop at the Crown Plaza Pittsburgh South in Pittsburgh, PA on Eye gaze and brain computer interface AAC: Evaluation your options.  Please, consider sharing with your colleagues if you know they might find value in the opportunity of experiencing the eye gaze access technology from the leading AAC manufacturers along with hearing about BCI access for communication.  Dr. Jane Huggins will be presenting on BCIs while representatives from Dynavox, LC Technologies, PRC and Tobii will be presenting their eye gaze technologies.   ASHA and IACET CEUs available!

 

Also, the workshop features Margo Broehl, Esq. as the keynote luncheon speaker.  Margo has been tirelessly working with the ALS Association and other professional organizations to reverse the CMS and PDAC decisions that are restricting funding and features of SGDs.  This is an excellent opportunity to get the lowdown on the advocacy efforts and network with fellow

advocates.  Details and registration information is at: http://www.icantalkclinic.com/eye-gazebci-workshop.html.

 

I hope to see you in a few weeks in Pittsburgh!

 

Keep up the efforts to change the capped rental and coverage reminder policies – it's not over yet!
