AAC Training
These sessions offer more complete topic coverage in a variety of webinar and in-person formats. Descriptions, objectives, and timelines are available upon request. The multi-part sessions are offered to teach skills while actively integrating AAC systems. Most are non-consecutive dates, requiring that the same participants attend every session and have assignments in-between sessions. Initiating, completing and receiving feedback on projects is a participant's responsibility in these series. For some of the sessions, a hands-on component can be included. Each series can be customized to disability and age level. Data collection can be emphasized if not already included.
