While Corpora Norton was investigating the accident, Uintah County Sheriff Sgt Robert Roth was dispatched to the Maeser 7-11 Store.

Team members: mem-bers: Dave John, Kay Ryan, Debbie Hayes, Shauna Gale, Alisa Thacker and Jean Bleazard will be on hand to help parents make items to help them get started. "Many nonverbal children are those with significant disabilities," said Dave John, school psychologist for Uintah School District "Intellectual disabilities, autism, significant downs syndrome, etc." Kay Ryan, speechlanguage pathologist for th- school district added, "We are on a team that is a partnership between Uintah School District Duchesne School District and special ed from both districts. We also have support from the state office of education that works with us to provide necessary materials." The workshop will include a video presentation, audience discussion and a make and take session. This is where we show them how to make certain visual guides right there on the spot" said John. "It's a program designed to use pictures for the kids that can't talk," said Ryan. "It's a way parents and nonverbal kids can communicate at home." The pictures are of activities they commonly want and need. John explained how frustrating it is for both parents and children if they can't communicate their needs and wants. It turns out to be some kind of a guessing game. The workshop will teach mis way of communication. The kids have a need and they can point to a picture of what they need or want at any given time. "We are offering these pictures to the parents and urge them to get them organized," stated John.

The kids can go over and grab a picture of what they want or need and give it to the parents." There will be key chains with the pictures put on them for the kids to carry with them," Ryan explained. They shuffle through the pictures until they find what they want" Kids can recognize pictures more readily than they can verbalize, said John. There are a lot of electronic devices available for kids to use in communication but are not covered in this workshop. "We wanted to present a less expensive way of communication." said John. There are both high tech .and low tech ways being used for communication. High tech typically being computerized ways of communication com-munication and low tech being visual visu-al aids such as pictures. We chose the low tech ' for the workshop because they are very inexpensive but very beneficial for the kids. It's the low tech items that the kids won't easily destroy and if they do, they can be easily replaced."
