This presentation by Pat Mirenda will focus on AAC strategies for supporting social-communicative interactions between students with autism spectrum disorders and their peers. "Beyond Wants and Needs: Using AAC to Support Social
Interactions Between Students with Autism and Their Peers."

Presentation by Pat Mirenda
Professor in the Department of Educational and Counseling Psychology
and Special Education at the University of British Columbia

Thursday April 11, 2013

5:30-7 p.m.

Bondurant Hall G100

This presentation by Pat Mirenda will focus on AAC strategies for supporting social-communicative interactions between students with autism spectrum disorders and their peers. Using the structure of the Participation Model, we will first discuss the importance of participation in the peer culture as a critical component for the development of social communication. We will then focus on a variety of AAC strategies that can be used to support school-age children and adolescents in this area, including conversation books and speech-generating devices (SGDs). Case studies and videotaped examples will be used to illustrate each of the strategies.

Parking:  After 5 p.m. you may park FREE in the Bell Tower Parking Deck (BTD) at UNC located off South Road.

After parking, take the BTD elevator to the 4th floor, turn left, and walk outside to the end of the ramp. Cross the street and walk up the 2 flights of steps to your left. Bondurant Hall will be the brick building straight across the courtyard. The presentation is on the first floor in room G100.  If you need to drop someone off who cannot walk up the stairs, do so at the front of Bondurant Hall which is accessible.

]]> No publisher Katherine Pearl 2013-01-15T21:55:00Z Event In-service Data Security Best Practices http://www.med.unc.edu/ahs/events/in-service-data-security-best-practices The Department of Allied Health Sciences (DAHS) Office of Research will sponsor an in-service on Data Security Best Practices with essential information for all faculty, staff, and students engaged in research projects. The presentation by Dennis Schimidt, Director of OIS, will be approximately 30-40 minutes, with plenty of time for your questions at the end. PLEASE RSVP. Please click this LINK to RSVP. Coffee and bagels will be available beginning at 8:45 a.m.

The presentation by Dennis Schimidt, Director of OIS, will be approximately 30-40 minutes, with plenty of time for your questions at the end. We will also be distributing a new security checklist for research projects to use as a guide to manage their team’s compliance with all state, federal and UNC requirements for data securities. This is intended to be a very practical session and will address important data security issues specific to research such as:

  • How do I use KeePass.info to manage data passwords across staff members on our research team?
  • Is my flash drive appropriately encrypted and what happens if I lose it?
  • If I leave UNC, what happens to my data – can, and how, do I take it with me?
  • And… learn other practical solutions that will ensure research data security for your research project.

Each research project is urged to send at least one staff member (e.g., Project Coordinator) in addition to the PI, though all investigators, trainees, staff, and students involved in research (e.g., research assistants, students completing theses/dissertations, etc.) are strongly encouraged to attend.

We know this may overlap with some scheduled classes and previously scheduled meetings. If you are not able to send someone from your research team, please contact John Bulluck, Research Systems Analyst (john_bulluck@med.unc.edu), so we can schedule a time to meet and review the information in person. DAHS faculty or administrative staff without research involvement are not required to attend, but are welcome to join us and may find the information helpful.

Please RSVP – click here to RSVP electronically.
