Getting Started: Considerations for Selecting and Customizing AAC Apps
Date/Location:
December 4, 2018, Online
Description:
In my work as an augmentative communication consultant, I am frequently asked for guidance in selecting which AAC app to trial with students. I also encounter individuals, programs, or school districts that favor one app over others without considering the individual needs of each student. Another widespread issue I experience is well-intentioned professionals who vastly underestimate user potential and need for robust vocabulary when setting up AAC systems. Through my presentations and my presence on social media, I am eager to share best practices in AAC, including apps selection and customization.
