AAC in Early Childhood: Myths & Realities
90 MINUTES
Thursday, 
September 28, 2017
3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Central Daylight Time

(CEUs are available for this sponsored webinar) 

AAC itself is a complex field, and implementing speech-generating devices with very young children requires a high level of training and technical expertise. This webinar will provide a foundation upon which participants can continue to develop their skills and knowledge base with this special population.

Specifically, this webinar will focus primarily upon use of high-tech speech-generating devices with children 1-3 years of age.

Participants will learn to identify and respond to common myths related to AAC use in early childhood; sub-topics will include alternative access (focusing on eye-tracking technology), iOS language systems and establishing goals for using AAC for the first time.


PRESENTER: Andrea Schario, M.A., CCC-SLP
