Training Activities
Lekotek of Georgia provides workshops on early intervention, special education, inclusion, computer play activities for preschool children and adaptive play with toys. In addition, we conduct workshops on disability awareness, adapted toys, and computer equipment at elementary, middle and high schools.
We are also an approved internship training site. Professionals with a degree in special education or an allied therapy field are eligible to participate in a one week internship to become a Lekotek leader. Lekotek of Georgia has trained professionals who have become Lekotek leaders in Georgia and other states.
Consulting services are available to agencies, professionals and parents.
(2-Day Course for Computer Camp Volunteers)
We will provide a 2-day training course prior to the start of camp. During training, individuals will work with computer hardware, adaptive input devices, and software for all ages, while learning positioning and child management techniques. Strong emphasis is placed on using the computer within a "play" environment. Individuals will become "experts" in the use of computer technology with children.
Training for the 2012 sessions will take place on July 12-13. The specific training times depend on which camp session(s) you're volunteering for. (Click here for the list of camp sessions.)
• Volunteers for sessions 1, 2 and 3 will attend training from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on July 12th and from 9:00 am to noon on July 13th.
• Volunteers for sessions 4 will attend training from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on July 12th and from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on July 13th.
