Description
The time from the original evaluation to the time the client has their own device may span several months. There can be a lot of waiting in the process, but this can be productive time to work with the child’s team to lay crucial groundwork for supporting their communication and language now and in the future!
This technical session will highlight how to use device emulation software and low-tech communication supports to facilitate team buy-in and understanding of the AAC system. The session will provide examples of how to utilize emulation software to support communication partners in 1) learning the device vocabulary file 2) creating visual supports, and 3) interacting with the vocabulary in the child’s environments.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Describe two benefits of having an alternative system (i.e., Chat Editor, PASS software, or low tech supports) prior to receiving a device.
- Describe two benefits of having an alternative system (i.e., Chat Editor, PASS software, or low tech supports) after receiving a device.
