Family Signs: You've Heard of Us? Now Come Learn with Us!
Family Signs offers free sign language classes to Texas family members of deaf/hard of hearing children (birth to age 21) using Internet based videoconferencing programs such as Skype and Google+ hangouts. The goal of this presentation is to provide a brief explanation of the program, discuss technology issues of the program (challenges, successes, and adaptations), and provide a live demonstration of a class. The success of this live presentation will be dependent upon variables with which the Family Signs program and other Tele-intervention providers continually deal (such as bandwidth issues, internet traffic competing for bandwidth). In the event that the demonstration call is unsuccessful, a backup recorded class session will be available. The videoconference call during the session will provide the audience a true-to-life experience of programs, like Family Signs, that use Tele-intervention for service delivery. We anticipate that this experience will benefit states wishing to set up a Tele-Intervention Sign Language program, as well as to parents wishing to request such classes in their home state.
- The participant will be able to identify various videoconferencing programs that may be used with Tele-Intervention.
- The participant will be able to identify various approaches to solving technology challenges, such as low bandwidth.
