SLPs face busy schedules, varied client needs, and little time to plan. Visually cued instruction is an evidence-based practice that can include using photos and drawings to target a variety of client needs. Images make language more visible to our clients in order to scaffold language comprehension, expression, and other objectives. This webinar will highlight easy-to-use free and low-cost ($5 and less) technology tools, accessible via multiple platforms, that SLPs can use to incorporate images into their clinical practice.

Learning Objectives: You will be able to:

• leverage the features of at least one app or website in a practical clinical activity
• describe to colleagues the potential uses of apps and websites in the processes of co-engagement, co-creation, and providing visual support to scaffold client performance
