Dona can
you send me the info for the webinar? ? Sure,
Kelly!? I¡¯m copying the announcement below.? I¡¯m REALLY excited
because Monday I¡¯ll use the APH program to remotely teach a new client some
advanced concepts and skills for uncontrolled crossings.? Tomorrow I go
look at the crossing he has been dealing with and if it looks like a suitable
site, he and his wife will go there later and measure his crossing time so he
can begin the training remotely Monday.? He¡¯s a pioneer, and agreed to come
to the webinar Wednesday and demonstrate how we do it, and explain what the
process was like from his perspective.? Cross your fingers that it goes
well! ?

Description:?
APH¡¯s ¡°Crossings With No Traffic Control¡± software provides simulation
experiences and information that help instructors teach students to analyze
situations at street crossings where there is no traffic control, including

confidence and competence with young and older clients through instruction and
coaching.?
