Although many people who experience post-stroke aphasia don’t regain much functional speech and language, only a small percentage are offered the opportunity to communicate with AAC. In today’s featured video, SLPs Michelle Retzlaff and Amanda Hettenhausen provide a wealth of information on supporting people with aphasia. We’re grateful to the presenters and to PRC Saltillo for creating this content and making it available. Direct Link to Video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ySbtTk2xkk&ab_channel=TouchChatApp

Despite the large number of AAC devices and apps available for people with complex communication needs, there are only a handful of different approaches to organizing words and messages. Understanding the difference, advantages, and disadvantages of each is a critical part of doing a good assessment and making appropriate AAC recommendations. Today, we feature a presentation on this topic by AAC/AT experts Beth Poss and Kelly Fonner. Originally offered as part of the AAC in the Cloud Conference, hosted by CoughDrop, this is a helpful video that you won’t want to miss. Many thanks to Beth and Kelly for sharing their expertise and experience, and to the fine team at CoughDrop for making this archived presentation available. You can obtain the handout for the session here. Direct Link to Video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef57eYip318&ab_channel=CoughDrop
