Gist has also recently released a
PowerPoint manual to assist in the production of resources.
The manual has been designed by our team here at Gist to assist anyone
working alongside clients who live with challenges that affect their
communication, and learning. The manual has been developed as a
reference and resource for busy support teams to assist in the
development of ongoing personally significant activities for their
clients. We have chosen to use Power point as the platform for the
following reasons:
It is well known within the
community and educational settings, making it more likely to be
supported by a wider range of team members
It is cost effective, many
computers are supplied with power point software pre installed
It supports multimedia
presentation making it personally significant and highly motivating
for the client and those around them
It can be simple or as
complicated as the support team want it to be, making it attractive
to a wide range of computer users
The team members at Gist
have a combined experience of 30 years working in the field of
assistive technology and main stream use of computers and software.
This experience has told us that we need to provide support staff
with skills and resources that will ensure that clients will have
ongoing access to activities that are motivating, personally
significant and are aimed at a skill level that is age and stage
appropriate for the client. Through using this resource you will be
challenged to think about issues of: planning, purpose and
application. When thought is given to these three key areas the
outcome for the client will be significantly improved. For more
