Description:

The current landscape in education is uncovering gaps and inconsistencies in staff knowledge, academic instruction and implementation for students with complex communication needs. An increase in the number of students identified as needing AAC and easier access to more affordable technologies, coupled with greater curricular expectations, is requiring a shift in the typical mindset of how to best support these teams and the students they serve. The need to build capacity while supporting students with complex communication needs is critical. SLP’s & AAC teams must deepen and expand their knowledge base in AAC implementation. Having the knowledge in the hands of one “expert” is not sustainable. To ensure significant impact, we must embrace a capacity building model.

Speakers:

Marlene Cummings, M.A., CCC-SLP

Learning Outcomes:

List 3 keys to a capacity building model.

Describe 2 considerations in determining current state.
