LAMP Words for Life Training Courses (app only)

LAMP Words for Life (WFL) app: Full Day Training - £395 (on-site)

This training course will consist of three elements: (1) A brief overview of LAMP principles (2) understanding the vocabulary and (3) programming and editing. Before adding and editing vocabulary it is important that individuals supporting LAMP Words for Life (WFL) app users have an understanding of the LAMP principles and the vocabulary. 

1.    Language Acquisition through Motor Planning 
The training begins with an overview of the Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP) program. LAMP is a set of principles related to speech-generating device programming, intervention strategies, social interaction and vocabulary selection that have been shown to increase language and communication skills of children with autism and other developmental delays. For more information on LAMP and details of forthcoming workshops in your area please visit www.aacandautism.co.uk 

2.    Introduction to LAMP Words for Life (WFL) app 
This part of the training provides an overview of the unique LAMP Words for Life (WFL) app language structure.

We will cover the following: 

- Exploring LAMP WFL app
