My PLN currently consists of quarterly in person meetings/discussions with other Community Mental Health OTs who serve other counties in the state. We discuss different topics each time we meet and share ideas. We use email to share resources in the time between our meetings. I belong to a broader OT group on FB where I can share and receive new ideas, but it is not specific to the population I serve.

# data[].attributes.body
My PLN currently is very small, and building. I would say meeting everyone here, and moving forward I will be growing with seminars I will be attending. My coworker that I work with has helped me meet a few people as well and we have a weekly meeting with a consultant to help share new things. I will be working on growing more this year for sure.

# data[].attributes.body
For the 3 phases To build my PLN I will have to figure out a way to use social networking. Right now I would say LinkedIn is where that may work for me, as  I use my personal social network for my personal business which is different than my 9-5.  Attending things like this Academy will grow my network, and I can use my work email to connect with others.  To manage the information that I acquire I would maybe keep a spreadsheet of sorts, I work with a lot of spreadsheets.  I will contribute by learning and growing to help others.

# data[].attributes.body
Being new to this, I have not yet explored any platforms. If anyone has any listservs they recommend I become a part of, that would be appreciated. I also plan on attending the Twitter AT chat to see what information can be gained from there. In addition, I plan to look into resources that are shared here.

# data[].attributes.body
For this exercise, I tried out a few of the accessibility features on my iPhone. I tried Speak Selection on a few web pages and text messages. I also tried Speak Screen with the Yelp and Uber apps. I didn't like Speak Screen as much because having to use two fingers to swipe down from the top, I often pulled down my lock screen. It was frustrating and would be difficult for someone with a visual impairment to navigate why the function wasn't working.

# data[].attributes.body
Phase 1: I am attending this course, have plans to attend a conference in a few months, possibly join a few listservs. Phase 2: I will have an AT folder on my desktop with any resources and also bookmark sites that it would be helpful to have easy access to. Phase 3: Since I am the first in my company to begin diving deeper into AT, I will share resources and tools with my co-workers. Empower them with simple skills I am already learning, that can benefit people in a big way.

# data[].attributes.body
In terms of using platforms to build my professional learning network, I typically review monthly with my team of co-workers to discuss any new findings or to collaborate on new challenges we have been up against. When meeting with my client's and their team members we collaborate as needed, but by regulation we meet yearly to discuss the client's overall year.

In regard to myself, I use my social media platforms to build my professional learning network. I follow certain accounts on Instagram and Facebook. I find Facebook more helpful in terms of the age population who utilizes Facebook more. I find that there are more people who have been in the field longer with a vast amount of experience I can learn from. Instagram is helpful in a way where I will read a post about something I didn't necessarily know, but I find Instagram to be more for branding rather than for collaboration.

# data[].attributes.body
Phase 1: I have involved myself in Facebook groups relating to assistive technology to begin to gather a baseline of information and education. I advocated to be a part of this course to my company so I can begin to grow in this area. My boss and I recently submitted a proposal for a conference that will be held in Chicago next year to present on how assistive technology can aid adults with DD/IDD/Autism or other related mental health diagnosis to be more independent.

Phase 2: I have already begun to manage my information by taking notes during this course and creating a folder that holds all the resources that we have been provided through this class thus far. I have been diving into researching evidence-based journal articles relating to assistive technology and saving them to the folder so I can read them during my downtime.

Phase 3: Other than my boss, there is no other person in our company that has experience in assistive technology. I enjoy discussing with her what I have been learning so far in this course. Every time she expresses that she is going out to do an evaluation I ask to go with her so I can firsthand see how it is performed. As I gain more knowledge and feel confident in my skill set, I will spread knowledge and awareness about this field. When it comes to meetings with our team, I plan to pose questions that can relate to helping our individuals become more independent using assistive technology in their daily lives.

# data[].attributes.body
I played with a majority of the accessibility features on my iPhone 11 pro. I have had experience with the makeshift home button being available on the screen because when I was in high school, the same thing happened to me where my home button broke and friends of mine had showed me what to do to fix it. I played more with Speak Screen as I have an individual of mine in mind. He is in his mid 50's and has a mild intellectual disability as his primary diagnosis. He cannot read and has always struggled with all interventions of learning to read. I thought of him immediately as he has a cell phone, and this would probably be so helpful and beneficial to him as he can access his phone more independently rather than constantly asking his staff for help. I plan to visit him at home next week and I would like to sit with him and work with his phone to set it up and see if he would like to try to utilize the feature.

# data[].attributes.body
The book I downloaded was Travels in a Tree-Top.  I personally found it not as enjoyable to listen to as a traditional audio book and could understand how it might be harder for this style of book to keep someone's attention due to the slightly robotic monotone.  In addition to being able to change text size and line spacing with the upper icon, it was a nice surprise to discover you could also do it with two finger zooming in and out.

Audible is a pricey app, this app would be a good alternative for someone who enjoys books and prefers/needs audio books, but needs a less expensive alternative. Due to needing subscriptions, I wasn't able to check out the features outside of books.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't ever done this before, but found it very interesting. We have many individuals at our agency who require help with filling out applications, Text Detective seems like it would be a great resource to help individuals be more independent with this.

# data[].attributes.body
This seems to be an incredibly useful tool. It recorded accurately, with punctuation in place and paragraphs where there was a pause.  I recorded a bit of the Webinar with it and was very impressed with how it turned out.

This may be helpful for our individuals to use when meeting with nurses or staff who are giving specific instructions on follow-up that will be needed.

# data[].attributes.body
In my current role of a case manager I am always working to build my PLN for the individuals we serve. We meet weekly with fellow GHS case managers in team meetings to discuss community resources and brain storm ideas and/or company protocols to met our clients needs for services. Connect with local community programs on a regular bases to explore services.

I follow multiple OT based groups on social media like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn. I have found a wealth of knowledge and connections on these platforms. The above PLN does not specifically revolve around AT and I think this is an opportunity for growth.

# data[].attributes.body
Whenever possible I look for OCR quality compression. I have access to an OCR scanner. I teach my students to use the OCR compress feature in Kami when needed. I have even used and trained on the internal features of the iOs device through the notes app. I try to use and train on as many ways as possible to try to break down as many barriers as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
I played with the features on the iPhone and the iPad and a few on the Mac as well as the Surface pro. I found that the apple products were more simple to use and find. I have used the speech to text with my son and we have turned on Captions on his movie sights and this has helped his reading over the last two years for sure. I want to play more with the dictation pieces for him and see about his school chrome book and if he is able to access those features on it. I know that we have a few individuals that use the iPads and such to communicate and also switches so it was very informative to learn about the interface part of the switch and features. I plan on trying out a few more of the accessibility features and work with them a bit more to become more comfortable using them.

# data[].attributes.body
I was truly amazed at what my iPhone has available as far accessibility; I had no idea. I played around with the different voice over features, and I automatically had a few clients in mind that I feel would benefit. I work with several people with a cerebral palsy diagnosis, and many have difficulty with expressive language. If I could determine the best way to mount a device so that it was accessible to them in their wheelchair, i'm confident they would be able to use some of these features. My phone is fairly old without the latest updates, so I am not able to explore every option.

# data[].attributes.body
Phase 1: This phase is primarily consists of colleques, fellow OTs who work at my agency, other CMH OTs from other counties, the periodic continuing ed course/seminar, and the ATPs I work with. the ATPs are by far my greatest resource to educate me on what's out there and what may work for each individual. I have learned so much from them.
Phase 2: I admit that I need a better way to organize my resources. I need something simple and easy to use. Google Doc may be the best option that I'm aware of.
Phase 3: I hope to be able to be a better contributor of information once I am able to better organize my resources. I do share new ideas and equipment with my immediate colleagues when applicable.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally constantly use my "Notes" app on my iPhone to create digital copies of print/paper materials. It is so easy to navigate and to get use to if someone was not familiar with it. If you already have an apple device, then I would say it is "cost effective" due to it being an included feature on the phone. The only down fall in my opinion is that it takes the hang of capturing the text. In certain instances, I find the scanner feature not capturing the paper how I would like it to. It does take several tries, based on my experience. I do like now how the updated versions of iOS allow for you to copy and paste any text within documents, web browsers/site, or even text within a picture. It truly makes it that much more accessible.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the Dolphin easy reader. I trialed and used it with several VI students in our district. I live in a Google world so I lean on those tools. I like the ability of the Dolphin reader to change background and text colors to fit the users preference.

# data[].attributes.body
Currently I am a coordinator for individuals with I/DD.  I have a PLN that is specific to serving our individuls and team memebers for each indidvidual, this includes DDS and DSS.  I had also attended the AT seminar this past summer.
Personally I utilize Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook to gain more information, knowledge and ideas for supporting our individuals.
Attending forums for the state had also been helpful in sharing and gaining information.
Connecting with community memebers and other non-profits through word of mouth has also been a great benefit

# data[].attributes.body
My PLN consists of several facebook groups for different areas of OT including one that includes OT's from my OT master's degree program.  I also have a network of OT friends that I bounce idea's off of including my younger sister who is also an OT.

# data[].attributes.body
I am so impressed with the amount of built in accessibility features available at most of our fingertips on a daily bases. I explored the speak selection and voiceover features iOS and the android systems. I thought the apple accessibility features were slightly more user friendly then android as I had to download live transcribe prior to its use but I also have an older phone. I also briefly explored the Chrome browser accessibility feature of live caption while finishing the AT accessibility video. I am excited to explore some of these features with some of our clients.

# data[].attributes.body
Phase 1: This phase for me consists of my colleagues at work, OT friends and family, continuing education work, vendors and ATP's that I work closely with, and online resources such as pinterest that I utilize for ideas.
Phase 2: This phase is something I need to continue to build. As of right now I manage my resources by printing things off and taking notes and keeping them in a binder so I can reference it as I need it. I would like to develop a more efficient, organized way of keeping information. I am interested in trying Wakelet that was mentioned in this video.
Phase 3: This phase in another area that I need to improve on. I do share information with my co-workers as I learn it. I do have an elderly friend that has Parkinson's that I also share a lot of information with as he has a lot of difficulty with his speech. I'm really looking forward to learning more AT knowledge that I can share with him.

# data[].attributes.body
WOW! This is such a fantastic tool. This can be so beneficial to anyone. Similar to Maria's experience, I think this was very accurate when recording. I was impressed with the grammar it provided. This can be great to learn grammar too. With this specific tool, I look to my individuals on my caseload who have a goal of living more independently and wanting to take on more responsibility. This would be great for them to use during medical appointments and then have the opportunity to listen back to it and process the information on what was being advised. I also think of a client of mine who is currently in school to earn his associates degree in criminology, this would be great for him.

# data[].attributes.body
I have an iPhone and was somewhat aware that it had different functions for accessibility but I was really impressed by all the features that it offers for accessibility especially all the voiceover options. My friend with Parkinson's immediately came to mind as I explored these features as his speech is very slurred at times and hard to understand. He has tried several different speech programs to help him however so far they have not worked well for him. These features on the iPhone would really benefit him as it's really easy to use and should be able to adapt to his speech style. I plan to take this information I explored to him and see if any of these features could help him to better communicate using his iPhone.

# data[].attributes.body
I downloaded the Dolphin reader and also went to the Project Gutenberg website.  I then realized that the Dolphin reader had the Gutenberg option so good laugh there LOL.
I like that you can change the fonts and the tones of the voice and speed. I personally don't mind the robotic sound of the voices but I can see how some would for sure.

# data[].attributes.body
When testing out the Dolphin Easy Reader, I found it really helpful that you can manipulate the line and word spacing. I feel as though someone who struggles visually or even struggles with fluency can be more successful with this feature.  What I did not like about that app was that there was no filter option when searching through the Project Gutenberg app. I think some may find this frustrating when there is too much material to process through and choosing something.

# data[].attributes.body
Great Tool!!! I have been looking for something that can do this.  This is super helpful when for a lot of things in a lot of areas of life that is for sure.

I would be able to actively participate in the meeting by communication my approval or disapproval. I would have difficulty actively contributing my thoughts or alternative options for what was being discussed. I know it was discussed having too specific of fringe words takes up valuable space, but to convey thoughts in a virtual meeting, it seems like it would be very helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many features of my phone I use on a daily basis. Siri helps me to set alarms, reminders and timers. Specifically, the Clock app I use to set timers and alarms. The Calendar app I use for remembering important days, meetings and appointments, with reminders popping up at designated intervals to ensure they aren't missed. The Reminders app itself is a helpful tool for things even as simple as being reminded to pay a bill on a certain date or order more supplies. I use the Notes app for shopping lists/to-do lists.

# data[].attributes.body
I made the merge cube and downloaded Merge Explorer.  I looked at the solar system and the layers of the earth and it is pretty cool!  I think that this is an appealing way to teach information some may not be overly interested in.

VR could be a useful tool with experiences. If someone had the ability to see and explore a place or an activity through VR before doing it in-person, this could build a lot of confidence and increase the likelihood of success.

# data[].attributes.body
This is something I personally would not usually subscribe to, but do think can be useful.  I like the idea on the homepage of automatically downloading and making a photo album on your phone of photos you are tagged in on social media.

I think this would be useful for individuals who use calendars or reminders for scheduling. If you enter it in one app, you will be alerted through others.

# data[].attributes.body
I use the Notes Application quite a bit as well as PDF and the Photos Application. Depends on what I am doing or what I need or am doing.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe I could actively participate, however adding personal ideas or thoughts could be hard and discouraging. I can see how needing to modify or tweak things as you learn the device or the tech would be super important with this type of device.

# data[].attributes.body
I downloaded the app and can definitely see the benefits. I appreciate that it is a free resource. Those that may benefit from this could include users with learning disabilities such as Dyslexia as well as those with visual impairments.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the above commenters. This would allow for basic "positive", "negative", feedback on discussion topics but it would be difficult to express things in a more specific manner. If this was the only communication option available, then I would think that those participating in the meeting would need to be cognizant of asking the right questions to get more specific feedback from the person using this feature.

# data[].attributes.body
I use my phone's alarm throughout the day for many things. To wake up, to clock in, to send important emails, to clock out, to pick up my kids. Maybe I am too reliant on it, but I find myself so busy some days that this is a nice cushion to have. I also use the notes feature with the open bullets that can be checked off. I like to make lists of things that need to be done and I like that I can check them off.

# data[].attributes.body
I use a lot of the built in Applications on my phone throughout my daily tasks.  Calendar is essential to know what I am doing from day to day and appointments and Birthday reminders.  Contacts to keep all the important contacts and set certain ones to be VIP contacts.  Reminders when I have tasks I need to accomplish in timely manner. Notes daily for all my meetings and  trainings. Camera for all sorts of things. Love the photos for the memories that it creates. Podcasts for developmental and self growth. Maps for traveling and navigation. Application store to find all the other applications that I need to function with personal and business things. FaceTime with my family regularly. Music I use this one on occasion but mostly pandora. Settings for updates and recently some accessibility features. Health Application to track with my Apple Watch all the health things that I need to track and even share with friends to stay motivated. Clock I use daily to set timers and alarms to help me stay on track.

# data[].attributes.body
I am in the beginning process of working towards creating a program based on a path to independence- with an emphasis on facilitating freedoms of exploration/expression, assessing barriers/navigating solutions and creating a safe space to explore all of these things. The goal is a shared human experience format with discovering benefits of technology combined with personal growth and accomplishments of goals/dreams/future plans. It is very much in the seed state right now and I am utilizing this course as an introductory conversation starter about ways to approach aspects of learning/teaching. With the growth of this program along the way- my intention is to solidify a network of others to become part of this round table discussion/exploration of what independence means to all of us involved, and how to support one another in pursuits of that. Right now we are in the phase of accepting applications of interest for individuals that would like to take part in the program- both supporting and supported.

# data[].attributes.body
Phase 1: Current state of building core elements of the network is comprised of assessing those would would be directly involved in the program here- both supporting and supported. Accepting applications to begin putting the puzzle pieces together to craft a flagship team.
Phase 2/3: To manage information collection/sharing, we plan to continue to utilize online documentations via google docs/an array of spreadsheets of information collection and open communications as a team combined- where everyone will have access to the same information as well as the ability to fully involve themselves with discussions and processes.

# data[].attributes.body
A recent example of tech use/built in features has been one gentleman exploring the accessibility and utilization of Uber on his iPhone for when he would like to get to any outings or events, and another gentleman will be receiving his first iPad over the next window of time. He would like to utilize his iPad for zoom meetings/facetimes, emailing family- and exploring the device to discover other tools for stress management (coloring apps/audio books/music/photography)- as well as creating documents to keep track of his personal records (banking/phone numbers & addresses/friends and families birthdays).

# data[].attributes.body
It would be so incredibly hard to participate in my daily meetings only using the words provided on this board. There is no room for opinions, ideas or thoughts. To feel like you have a voice or the feeling of being "heard" would be very difficult to achieve. With the words provided you would sound very robotic. The barriers you would face in terms of communication would be not being an active communication partner and not fully being involved in the conversation due to lack of options.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed getting to explore all of the AAC apps. Being so new to this niche of the field, it seems as though ACC is always the most talked about. I am very familiar with Proloquo2Go. For me this is the easiest to manipulate, alter and organize. I like how you can create folders, pages and even add in personal pictures for real life objects or even people to identify. I did my own research and found an app called "Conversation Therapy." It is geared for adults. I currently work with adults in a group home setting and thought this would be really helpful to apply what I discovered to my current work. Part of the company's mission is to differ from other ACC apps in terms of having options of expressing thoughts, feelings, experiences and ideas. I think that is really wonderful and progressive! It also seems as though the app has social skills and perspective taking incorporated into it to help individuals better identify red flags or learn the appropriate skills and apply them to real life conversations.

# data[].attributes.body
I am an iPhone user and have been for years. Since Apple is always changing, along with myself throughout my career, I have come to love the Notes app. I use this daily and the multiple functions that are within the app. I use it as a scanner, speech to text, drawing and a notes pad and a checkmark to do list. I also can convert a note into a PDF which is extremely helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
When I was working in a school system, I always used the Proloquo2go app for my visual schedules and social stores. At this time the non-verbal students I was working with all were familiar with the app and its icons. This was helpful to maintain and generalize the icons into everyday life when rotating for centers or learning something new.

# data[].attributes.body
This app is so cool. I really enjoyed playing around with it and showing my family members how it worked. I agree with Maria's response how it would be a great alternative to teach a learner new information. No one learns the exact same way and an application like this might make the learning more appealing which would lead to an interest in what is being taught. I think of the VR feature for one of my individuals on my caseload in particular. He has anxiety around heights, hills, inclines, enclosed areas and staircases. Right now, we have a trial to criterion teaching procedure in place that helps desensitize him to those obstacles above. I think allowing him to have access to VR and know that he is in the comfort of his own home, in a safe pace like his bedroom might be another helpful way for him to learn to tolerate the undesired environments he has anxiety around.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this app. I may be thinking too much about myself and my personal likes and dislikes, however I do feel as though it would be good for someone who is not Tech Savy, where all the information can be in one centralized place. I think this is a good option because it eliminates you going into each and every app and setting it how you want. Many of the apps listed already have the features of cross posting onto another platform, specifically for the social media apps. I saw Philips Hue and iRobot. These within the app themselves have timers to set daily with the preferences of your liking.

# data[].attributes.body
I got to explore some of the applications, I am fairly new to AAC and looking forward to researching more options. Currently our company uses the Proloquo. I think having more options can be useful especially if someone is waiting for funds to purchase devices needed or applications needed.

# data[].attributes.body
I have used the First Then HD Application - I used it as a trial with my son to work on learning his morning routine for school and staying on task. It was helpful and we were able to set up a reward system to get him more interested in trying it out. Currently we have assisted an individual with our Pilot Program to set up his tasks for his job/employment. He is doing great staying focused and we were able to set up tasks for all the different shifts that he would possibly be working.
