Lately, I’m seeing too many things in AAC world that don’t work for families. If you’re an AAC SLP or someone working with an AAC user, shifting to a family-centered model is going to be life changing for your user. Our families deserve to be supported. Period. AAC needs to work for the family. Clinical knowledge is only worth something if it’s applied in a meaningful way. As clinicians, we NEED to shift to seeing things from the perspectives of our families. This mindset is going to be the number one predictor of AAC success. Are you a parent or family member of an AAC user? What do you need for professionals to know? Share below.

Lately, I’ve been talking to SLPs and parents just starting the AAC evaluation process, and one thing stands out: AAC evaluations are complicated! There are so many components to an AAC evaluation, which is why it’s always important to choose an SLP that knows what they’re doing. Looking to get started on building your AAC funding knowledge? Here are some AAC funding terms you’ll encounter when you start the process. Knowing what’s ahead always makes things easier. What AAC evaluation topics would you like us to discuss next?

This post is reactive, but long overdue. I’m tired of other professionals telling me they don’t believe an AAC user is using communication intentionally. I’m tired of professionals that don’t believe an AAC user is capable of using their device. I’m just so tired. And if I’m so tired, how do you think parents of AAC users feel? How do you think the AAC user feels? AAC users with complex access are put to a higher standard of “proving they’re capable.” If you’re a professional working with complex bodies, all I ask is to take a step back and proceed with curiosity. Can you open your mind to possibilities?

Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the most difference. In this scenario, I changed the AAC users background from gray to black, and the impact was amazing. Do you see it? What are some simple tweaks you make that have high-impact? (Side note, see how distracting the glare is? Consider using a matte screen protector, more of this to come soon).

Did I forget to mention I made a FREE back-to-school trialing for SLPs to present to teachers? This year we’re doing a culture reset in our school buildings, and it starts with this training. Take a look at this free 15-minute training with a brief 5-minute intro for SLPs. I gave away some insider tricks that no one tells you (did I go too far 🤔). Use code FREEAAC at checkout. Culture shift starts now.

If you’ve been wondering, here you go (reminder that complex access requires creative solutions).
