This comprehensive online training provides a step-by-step process to conduct dynamic and collaborative AAC assessment, select optimal AAC systems for your learners, effectively coach communication partners, observe video examples of AAC learners during evaluation and therapy, understand and use AAC prompt hierarchies, and expand vocabulary using AAC treatment principles. Downloadable bonus resources (PDFs) allow you to get started with assessment and therapy with your current caseload.
The treatment methods, strategies, and techniques presented in this course follow the most current research in Alternative and Augmentative Communication. Participants will explore a collection of tools available to use during the evaluation and funding process as well as throughout treatment. Participants will learn to formulate appropriate goals based on Light and McNaughton’s four communicative competencies (Light, J. C., & McNaughton, D. 2014).
Case studies will be presented to facilitate the AAC evaluation and assessment process and to aid in treatment planning and caregiver coaching. Also included are AAC data collection tools for use during your evaluation and intervention planning. Participants will learn about resources and support that are available no matter which stage they are currently within during their AAC evaluation and treatment journey.
