SUMMARY:Join The Make Therapeutic Exercise Fun "Show and Tell"
DESCRIPTION:On December 19th 2020\, disability professionals of all types participated in a sponsored workshop focused on making therapeutic exercise fun using the Makey Makey.

Just attach any conductive object to the Makey Makey board with alligator clips and connect to the internet. This allows anything conductive to be a switch and trigger actions on another device! For example\, through simple movements with your body\, you can trigger sounds (new window)\, or an action on a software program (see the awesome video below!) Disability professionals can use the Makey Makey to motivate and engage their clients to participate in fun therapeutic exercises. The device can be used to help clients adopt switch use\, and practice their fine motor control\, strength and balance activities and more!\n  \nJoin The Make Therapeutic Exercise Fun “Show and Tell”\nJan 26\, 2pm PST or 5 pm EST\, disability professionals who participated in the course will demonstrate the projects they created for their clients!
