A.T.TIP #40: Audio Visual Entrainment (discussion) –

I suppose using Audio Visual Entrainment to assist students with disabilities fits the “exploring” and “investigating” I refer to at the beginning of each episode. The following are some links with more information on Audio Visual Entrainment for your consideration:

1. Mind Alive Inc. – Company that sells the equipment

2. Our Life Designs – Website for Steve Taylor and others.

3. The Future Hope Project – MS Word document explaining the project

4. ADHD Therapeutics article on AVE – Article explaining the benefits

I’ll be presenting at these two upcoming conferences:

1. Maryland Assistive Technology Network Conference (MATN)– May 7th in Maryland.

2. National Educational Computing Conference (NECC)- June 28th – July 1st in Washington, D.C. (Poster Session)

If I don’t get to see you at either of those conferences we can still get together virtually over the Internet. Join the A.T.TIPPERS group on Facebook and/or Classroom 2.0 ! You can also follow me on twitter.com.
