This one session takes a look at the myriad of different AAC applications (on devices, tablets and iPads). We will spend time discussing the cognitive considerations of AAC use and propose a system for organizing and understanding the different ways popular AAC applications support effective and efficient communication across environments, while promoting age appropriate language development. Participants will gain information to assist in choosing appropriate AAC systems and understanding the systems they are currently using.
Presenter: Vicki Clarke, CEO, Dynamic Therapy Associates, Inc. (DTA, Inc.)
In March 2020, many of us were required to quickly pivot to virtual learning. After much trial, error, learning and collaboration, teletherapy is now a valuable and accessible tool for AAC support. Teaching AAC learners virtually is nuanced and requires modeling an AAC system, engaging digital activities, and coaching the circle of support. This session will explore tips and technology tools to support all aspects of remote AAC instruction.
