Presenter: Chuck Ray, PMP
In this session, I will be showing the power and ease of visualizing your data by building interactive elements that allow users to explore their data in new ways. From pivot tables to dashboards, this campus wide tool takes the complexity out of data discovery. Come learn how you can unlock your data and empower your users.
Presenter: J.J. Mowder-Tinney PT, PhD, NCS, CSRS, CEEAA
I will be highlighting the use of the SafeGait which is a system that unweights people while allowing them to perform multiple functional activities. It is newer technology that is groundbreaking with allowing safe and challenging interventions to be performed on a variety of types of patients. I will be showing a large variety of fun and innovative video treatment ideas that PT students have designed and researched using this equipment.
Presenter: Heather Coles, M.A. CCC-SLP
My presentation will provide a brief overview of two iPad based cognitive assessments. These capture simulations of functional tasks and examine performance across multiple cognitive domains. Opportunities for hands on participation with the testing will be provided.
Presenter: Vince Anderson
Using XR gear, Vince will share an interactive demo with a headset and a secondary (2D) display on the projector. Included will be an anatomy demo and other Wow, that's cool! type stuff as well!
Presenter(s): Megan Tobin, PhD, CCC-SLP & Nicole Juersivich, PhD
This presentation will introduce some of the cool things that can be done using Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers. After a brief demonstration of how we have incorporated features such as drop-down menus, conditional formatting, sliders, and handy built-in functions (e.g. sum, average, min, counta) into our own grading spreadsheets, we will work in groups to help you begin adding some of these features to your own spreadsheets, so bring your tablet or laptop with you!
Presenter: Jim Black, MS, PhD
Emerging technology tools can help help transform the learning and achievement of students with disabilities (make that everyone!). This session will demonstrate the power of software (available to us at no cost) that will read text aloud and turn dictation into tex
Presenter(s): Lisa Hiley PhD, CCC-SLP & Julie Kunisch OTR/L, OTD
A demonstration of the process in which OTs and SLPs collaborate to promote client utilization of high tech communication devices.
