Whether you are a therapist, educator, or other professional there is a long list of things that people who use AAC need us to do so that they can communicate in ways that help them live their best lives. Today, we begin a series on some of the most overlooked areas that even veteran AAC practitioners often miss. Not because they don’t know about them. Not because they have a philosophical reason to avoid them. Not because they can’t figure out how to implement them. But because there are incredibly frustrating systemic obstacles to providing the kinds of support our clients/students need. In schools, caseload and classroom sizes stack the deck against us.

Our local public schools are back in session so we thought it would a good opportunity to highlight some resources for making the year a bit more AAC-friendly. Let’s start with our AAC 101 Flipbook, a handout that gives lots of tips for supporting students who use AAC. You can check that out here. Next, let’s look at some tools for helping the team understand the different ways that a specific AAC learner communicates.
