Video of the Week: AAC App Selection Help

On my recent trip to Australia for the ILT2014 conference, I had a chance to spend more time learning more about the AAC Ferret, with the help of SLPs Charlene Cullen and Amanda Hartmann.  Beneath the cute name and image is a a ton of information and an easy-to-use format that help SLPs in selecting AAC apps that meet the needs of an individual.  If you use the feature match process in your evaluation (and we hope you do), you’ll be happy to know that this app can aid in identifying AAC apps by feature. SLP Katie Lyon explains some of the features of this helpful tool. Direct Link to Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR3tjv7AZPQ
