Video of the Week: Fostering Effective Self-advocacy Skills in AAC Users

Communication plays a vital role in self-advocacy for all individuals, including those who use AAC. In today’s featured video, Melonie Melton and Heather Patton share thoughts on ways professionals and families can facilitate self-determination and build skills in self-advocacy. Their practical suggestions include activities and intervention tools for students with AAC needs.

This is an archived presentation hosted by ECHO Voices of the Oregon Technology Access Program (OTAP). We are grateful to OTAP and the speakers, Melonie and Heather, for this presentation.
