Have you ever wondered…

Whether a client is a good candidate for AAC?

How to get classroom and caregiver buy-in?

How to get access to AAC devices for trials?

What is the best AAC assessment tool?

How to write goals for AAC intervention?

How to obtain funding for AAC equipment?

We had the same questions!

The reality is that most graduate programs do not cover augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) enough. If you’re new to AAC, it’s completely normal to be overwhelmed by the technology and learning curve.

THAT’S WHY WE WANT TO HELP YOU

What if you...

could learn about the latest evidenced-based approaches to AAC assessment and treatment in 2 hours of training from SLPs and individuals who use AAC? And you could do it from the comfort of your home live or watch the playback recordings on your own time. Or even better, you can get training and receive AAC support and resources all year long!

We want to help you…

  • Stop feeling overwhelm with AAC
  • Stop getting push back from caregivers & staff
  • Stop using AAC as a last resort

And..

  • Start feeling confident with AAC assessment & treatment
  • Start getting buy-in from caregivers & staff
  • Start implementing AAC alongside other meth
