Let’s wrap up my conversation with Venita from Speechie Side Up! In this episode, we are talking about the incredible benefits of AAC in early intervention and breaking down the stigma surrounding AAC.
You can catch up on our conversation:
1-What is AAC?
2-What are Augmentative and Alternative Communication Devices?
Venita shares the benefits of AAC: building relationships with parents, modeling sign language, using functional words, and offering choices through visuals and objects. She also shares strategies for accessing loan devices and how to continue conversations with parents about implementing AAC at home.
We are also tackling a common concern among SLPs, parents, and providers: Where do I start?
Venita shares incredible advice for getting started and, more importantly, what to do when you’re feeling stuck.
Whether you’re new to AAC or looking for ways to share the benefits of AAC with parents, caregivers, or educators, this episode is a must!
