Today, as high tech gadgets and devices become more and more widespread, there are new opportunities to use that technology to help children with special needs.  The Brookline SEPAC Assistive Technology Fair will feature hands-on demonstrations by companies, organizations, and volunteers, as well as brief talks on specific technologies and general trends.  Representatives from the Easter Seals, All Tech, Cambium (makers of the Kurzweil Reader), SymTrend, and others will be on hand, showing off a variety of software, tools, and gadgets.  There will also be an “app table” where parent volunteers will demonstrate dozens of apps for smart phones and tablet computers (like the iPad), ranging from math games to decibel meters to IEP planners.  At the LiveScribe table, you can try out this unique pen that can digitally record sound while you write notes.

We’ll also have a bake sale and plant sale to raise money to bring some of these technologies to special needs students at the Lawrence School.

Join us for this free and fun event and learn about new, high tech ways to help children with special needs enhance their learning, behavior, and social skills.
