May 8, 2023 at 9:39 am Meaghan Moriarty Good morning, My name is Meaghan Moriarty, and I am in the early stages of opening a neurodiverse affirming school in the Chicagoland area for autistic individuals. This school will have a safe, developmentally appropriate environment where the focus is engagement and social connection to achieve learning. I am a parent of an autistic child and have been a speech language pathologist for over 16 years. I am looking to connect with your wonderful organization to offer students access to AAC devices. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time!

May 8, 2023 at 12:40 pm Nealy Hicks Good afternoon May 8, 2023 at 1:52 pm William Hovendon Hello, My name is William Hovendon and I am a Community Health Worker for SIU School of Medicine. I am located in the clinic in Logan county. It is my job to try and find help for those in our healthcare system that have fallen through the cracks or have a hard time accessing healthcare due to limitations that they have. I currenlty have a family who’s daughter is nonverbal, nonmobile, and is confined to a wheel chair when she is able to leave the house. The family has been trying to transport her in their van but can no longer do so because they are getting older in years and cannot physically load her into the van like they used to. I am trying to find help with either obtaining a wheel chair van for them to use to transport or to find funding to retrofit their van with a lift that would be able to help. Is there any way you could assist with this or would know who to contact for assistance? Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. May 8, 2023 at 5:13 pm Savanah Bredberg My son is 3 and is non verbal and has been diagnosed with level 3 autism.

I saw an article (https://3duniverse.org/2023/02/28/help-3d-print-assistive-technology-devices-to-improve-the-lives-of-others/) on 3D Universe. On behalf of my organization, I wanted to reach out to see which devices (and what quantities) your organization need. We would love to 3D print and donate as many as we can! Best Regards, |

May 9, 2023 at 8:28 am Carol Franzgrote Hi there! I am interested in having IATP provide some training for my district’s SLPs. I would love if the SLPs in my district could have more information about AAC options, and how to evaluate/trial AAC options. Would this be a training you could provide? Also, would it be possible to do this training in McHenry county? I work for Cary District 26. Any additional information would be very helpful – thank you! -Carol (Carly) Franzgrote |
