SUMMARY:NYC Metro Chapter: Custom Keyguard Design Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Makers Making Change’s New York City Chapter for this virtual workshop as we learn how to create 3D design files of custom keyguards. A keyguard is a physical overlay or barrier placed on a touchscreen device to assist users in accurately selecting desired areas of the screen. These overlays can help individuals with motor or cognitive impairments by providing physical boundaries around the selectable elements on the screen\, reducing accidental selections\, and improving accuracy during communication. Keyguards in AAC apps can be customized to fit the specific layout of symbols or buttons\, allowing users to interact with the app more effectively and independently. \nDuring this workshop\, we will walk through the process of starting with an app screenshot and creating a custom keyguard using Volksswitch’s Keyguard Designer. The workshop will cover the various customization and mounting options. \nThe target audience includes speech therapists\, occupational therapists\, assistive technology professionals\, and 3D design engineers. All skill levels are welcome to attend. For this workshop\, you will need to have access to the following: \n\nComputer with OpenSCAD installed and Inkscape installed\nDownloaded design files\nScreenshot of the desired AAC app layout (taken from the device)\nRuler with mm measurements\n\nRegister HERE \nPresenter \nGemma White is an SLP with over 20 years of experience working with AAC. She graduated from the University College London as a Speech Therapist in 2000. Gemma has served on the AAC SIG12: PDC and is a member of RCSLT UK. Gemma developed applications and shared her clinical expertise presenting for Apple\, and numerous CE courses for SLP’s\, AT professionals\, including for multidisciplinary at ATIA and ASHA. She is currently the Clinical Coordinator at WIHD Assistive Technology Program and Speech Department\, NY. \nLocation: \nThis is a virtual workshop.
