AAC Fundamentals, Modeling and Implementation

AAC Fundamentals, Modeling and Implementation

Presented by: Meghan Broz, Ed.D., CCC-SLP, ATP

During this session, participants will learn the basics of augmentative alternative communication, including low/mid/high tech, how it is selected for a client, and funding options. Low tech discussion will focus on visual supports and low tech AAC. High tech will focus on different software. Both topics will include training on Aided Language Stimulation Strategies and modeling for implementation of AAC, and general implementation strategies for use at a school/center, and home.
