Ideas for encouraging positive visual communication techniques in a home and technology that converts auditory information to accessible information will be presented. Participants will learn how to help parents create a home environment that is visually friendly for children from infancy. Participants will rotate through informative and entertaining booths of technology and communication strategies. A brief discussion of how these booths can be used to orient parents of infants and toddlers to Deaf Culture will be included.
