PODD Visit
Mount Ommaney Special School have had the pleasure of
hosting Janelle Sampson and Haylee Parfett who are Speech-Language Pathologists
from Two Way Street in Adelaide. Janelle and Haylee work under the guidance of
Gayle Porter who has been instrumental in the development of the Pragmatic
Organisation Dynamic Display or PODD communication system over the last fifteen
years. PODD is an example of an Augmentative and Alternative Communication
(AAC) and is available across the school campus. Janelle and Hayley provided two
days of ongoing specialised in-class PODD training to teachers to better
support the communication and learning needs of the students at Mount Ommaney
Special School.
