Do you feel like AAC is outside your comfort zone as an SLP or OT? You’re not alone, and we’re here to help.

Join Erin and Michelle for a practical and encouraging conversation about why it’s essential for every clinician to develop a foundational understanding of AAC, especially when serving children and families in community settings.

With AAC evaluations often delayed for months at larger organizations, clinicians need tools and confidence to support communication in the meantime. Erin and Michelle will walk you through the key components of an AAC evaluation, the importance of building strong relationships with your clients, and how to get started, even if you're not an AAC specialist.

They’ll also share valuable resources to guide your next steps and help you support families when AAC services feel out of reach. You may not have all the answers, but we’ll help you know where to start and how to keep learning.
