To help us allocate time effectively, it would really help if you could take this VERY SHORT survey at https://umdsurvey.umd.edu/jfe/form/SV_8qTmpMkT3p7qgGq.

It will also be important for you to do the following in order to maximize the value of the activity:

  1. Go to https://dali.talkbank.org/clan/ and download the appropriate version of CLAN for your LAPTOP/COMPUTER. This will save a lot of time. Please note that CLAN is NOT supported for Ipads or Chromebooks.
  2. Download what we call the SLP Guide to CLAN (a fast start Guide) at https://talkbank.org/manuals/Clin-CLAN.pdf. We suggest putting it on your desktop or printing it out if you like to follow an instruction guide.
  3. Either before OR after the session, we strongly recommend the 5 video tutorials (75 minutes in total) at https://talkbank.org/screencasts/0SLP/. These will be particularly useful for anyone on your "home team" who won't be there for the training.
  4. Additional downloads are available here
    WARNING: Only open the CHAT files (.cha) INSIDE of the CLAN program,     or they will be ruined and you will need to copy them to the CLAN/Work file again from the link provided.

NOTE: We will record the session for those who cannot make the live event.
