The Pragmatic Organisation Dynamic Display (PODD) approach provides strategies to support the design, production and implementation of communication systems to enable genuine communication for a variety of functions in all daily environments.
PODD communication books assist quick access to predictable messages and access to a broad range of vocabulary for spontaneous, unpredicted messages.
The PODD resource provides generic templates that can be trialed and customised to suit individual requirements. PODD can be used to suit varying communication, language, sensory and physical access requirements.
Creative and practical solutions will be demonstrated through videos and case examples. Participants will have the opportunity for hands on supported practice using PODD communication books.
Target Audience: Speech pathologists, teachers, parents and carers, professionals specialising in Augmentative and Alternative Communication
