Overview / Abstract: |
All nonspeaking people can benefit from some form of augmentative communication (AAC), but questions abound as to how users of AAC move from simple cause and effect devices or low tech communication boards to static and more complex dynamic display systems. Regardless of the type of communication tools the individual is using, there are some tried and true techniques that will facilitate success. It is imperative that everyone working with a child who uses AAC has a global understanding of what makes AAC successful, and how to implement it. This course is intended to build a foundation of knowledge required for effective AAC intervention through practical application of research, video examples/case studies, questions, and discussion. The course is geared towards people with limited to intermediate AAC experience seeking to support children and adults who use AAC. This would include general and special educators, paraprofessionals, administrators, parents, caregivers, and therapists (SLP/OT). |
