We have put together a new series of statewide events, one of which begins Tuesday, September 14th.  This event will be the first in a monthly, statewide, “Visual Strategies Series” where participants can join us, for free, in our Anchorage and Fairbanks offices or via live on-line streaming to learn a strategy, make their own supports, and practice using them.  Material kits are available for purchase (at cost) from our resource center and can be mailed anywhere in the state.  Topics and final products will change monthly, so feel free to distribute this flyer to anyone you think may be interested or add it to your organization’s newsletter.

Suggested materials needed for the September 14, 2010 “I am working for…” project:

• A printer
• Printer paper, card stock works the best
• Pictures using Internet or personal camera or cell phone camera
• Contact paper or clear package tape
• A foot of one of the following materials:  Velcro, magnetic tape, 2-sided tape or a pack of sticky tack
• Scissors
• Ruler
• A small piece of fine or coarse grain sandpaper

We would greatly appreciate it if you call or email us and let us know you are interested in purchasing a package of materials that will be used for the additional 9 projects in the series.  We are still determining the cost but are hoping to keep it at a nominal charge.

The Fairbanks AARC office now has a Make and Take area set up for making visual supports.  Visit the office during business hours for a tutorial.  You will be able to access Boardmaker software and a color printer in order to develop visual schedules, communication boards, and visual rules.  Be as creative as you want, or feel free to utilize our templates.

On January 21st at 5:15 pm, the Fairbanks AARC office will be holding a Make and Take demonstration before the University of Washington video teleconference.  A short tutorial on utilizing Boardmaker software and other materials available in the Make and Take area will be offered, along with sample materials to browse.  Come join us!
