Description

Because Day 2 is limited to 40 participants, registration will initially be restricted to individuals/teams planning to implement LAMP with specific student(s). To register, call 308-237-5927 and ask for Judy Lauby or email her at jlauby@esu10.org.  

After May 16, registration will be opened up online through Odie. Go to https://odie.esu10.org/welcome.aspx to register or to request an Odie account. If having difficulty requesting an account or if a parent or community member not associated with a school district, please contact Polly Hays at phays@esu10.org or 308-237-5927. Polly is available Wednesday-Friday from 8:00-3:00. 

Workshop Description:
Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP) is a therapeutic approach based on neurological and motor learning principles.  The goal is to give individuals who are nonverbal or have limited verbal abilities a method of independently and spontaneously expressing themselves in any setting.

LAMP was developed out of the clinical practices of John Halloran, MS, CCC-SLP, Cindy Halloran, OTR, and Mia Emerson, MS, CCC-SLP.  In their interactions with nonverbal individuals with autism, they found that:
      * Giving individuals access to core words on a speech-generating device,
      * Teaching those words in sensory-rich activities, and
      * Accessing each word on the device with a consistent, unique motor pattern with auditory feedback provided a means for developing independent communication.

Language and social interaction may be effected by impairments in motor skills and auditory and sensory processing.  Some interventions currently in use with individuals with autism focus on the perceived strengths associated with autism, such as visual learning and the desire for structure.

The LAM)P approach not only utilizes visual learning and the desire for structure, but it also addresses core deficits affecting language delay to improve spontaneous, generative communication.

LAMP strives to improve language and communication by:
     * Imitating the neurological processes associated with typical speech development
     * Pairing a consistent motor movement with consistent auditory feedback and a natural response while using a SGD (speech generating device).
      *There are no cognitive prerequisites for the implementation of LAMP as intervention can begin at the cause and effect level and systematically build upon the stages of natural language development.

Day 2 MOVING FORWARD WITH LAMP:  This course is designed to further the communication partner's ability to implement the Language Acquisition through Motor Planning approach at different language stages and across environments.  The language structure of the LAMP Words for Life language system and use of features to support language learning will be explored.  Participants will receive some hands-on time and are encouraged to bring the devices Accent or iPad with Words for Life (WFL).  Discussion will include assessing current language level, setting goals for developmental progression, and analyzing data logging.  The presenter will cover a variety of strategies and strategies to support language development such as expanding vocabulary in natural environments, modeling, teaching the motor plan, and how to use aided language input.  Videotaped sessions will be used for group discussion about strategies that work and common mistakes.  Suggestions for language development in school settings will also be addressed.

Presenter Teresa Parrill, M.S., CCC-SLP, is a speech-language pathologist employed as the Project Manager in the Infant Communication Lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  She has been in this position since a move to the Omaha/Lincoln area with her family in 2014.  In this position she conducts research with children in various stages of infancy to determine warning signals for difficulties with speech, language and social communication in later ages.

Before moving from Colorado she spent much of her 15-year career working in early intervention specializing in augmentative communication and autism.  She worked closely with families to provide AAC services to children with complex speech and language needs ages up to the age of 20.  Teresa has also worked with The Center for AAC & Autism as a LAMP Trainer since 2008.

Teresa received her undergraduate degree from the University of Northern Iowa in 1995 and her master's degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1997.  She maintains her certificate of clinical competence from the American Speech and Hearing Association as well as her Nebraska state license.  Teresa is dedicated to providing quality speech and language services to children and families across the country.

Learning Outcomes:
Partcipants will be able to:

     1.  Identify how to modify the student's current AAC system and use device features to support language learning
     2.  Analyze the current expressive level of an AAC user and give suggestions as to the next step for expanding language and vocabulary
     3.  Describe how to provide access to vocabulary across settings and activities to promote readiness to learn and generalization
     4.  Give examples of appropriate levels of prompting and modeling to develop independent communication
