About This Week
Welcome to Week 20 of your Stepping into AAC journey! As you approach the finish line, we consider what you’ve accomplished and lay out some possible next steps for your AAC learner.
You will explore the following concepts this week:
- Reflecting on Your Skills as a Communication Partner: Over the past 20 weeks, you’ve acquired new information and had the opportunity to develop skills that make it easier for your AAC learner to develop their language and AAC skills. In this segment, we pause to look back on what you’ve accomplished and what it means.
- Next Steps: Explore some possible directions to head in as you continue supporting your AAC learner.
Future Directions with Your AAC Learner’s Team
The efforts that you and your family put into learning about and using AAC support strategies provided your AAC learner with a solid foundation. As you continue to use the strategies you’ve learned about, you can also work with the team to ensure that they share your commitment to high-quality AAC support. The verbiage from the Stepping Into AAC letters can be used to communicate your expectations for the team to work with you in planning the next steps for your AAC learner.
