Introductions

WAPADH has now launched its new website, www.wapadh.org. We are excited about the opportunities to share and disseminate information. On the new website each of us will post resources we create and would like to share. For me, in the area of communication I keep the following PDFs:
  • Communication Dictionary
  • Language Ladder (adapted from Dr. Rosemary Crossley)
  • Communication Support Chart
Finally, we will keep a Calendar of Events. It is here that you can stay up to date on events at WAPADH such as the Community Communication Workshop offered once a month, and upcoming related Conferences.

Communication is important to each of us and internet communication is allowing us to network, learn, and access a common ground for communication. At www.wapadh.org we will post podcasts and interviews with uploaded videos. Through Facebook and Twitter we can offer small "sound bites" of ideas and connect with larger groups of people.

Please let your friends know about the website and the different ways we can all connect. ... And join in with your ideas and experiences.

This is going to be great....
