Individual AAC Coaching

This is for you if…

  • you are new to learning about AAC (alternative and augmentative communication) and you are looking for some guidance getting started

  • you’ve had support getting started and now you’re looking for ways to keep things going

  • you are a parent, family member, therapist or friend of someone who communicates using AAC.

  • you support any kind of AAC communicators - those with more emergent or more advanced communication skills, those who are part-time and/or full-time AAC communicators, and those who are multimodal communicators who may speak and/or sign.

It’s all about what you need.

And if you’re not sure about what you need then we’ll start there. In our first session we’ll create a plan, either for you to follow on your own if we’re only meeting once, or for us to follow together during our work together. We focus on the things that are important to you. This could be literally anything. Here are some common areas people choose to focus on:

  • learning the basics of how your child’s or student’s device works

  • figuring out which communication strategies support you and your AAC communicator best

  • exploring low and high tech AAC options to expand your baseline knowledge of AAC

  • creating an at home literacy learning plan for your AAC communicator

  • strategies for feeling more comfortable incorporating AAC in play and everyday life

  • finding balance between AAC and other communication modalities

  • fostering your AAC communicator’s sense of identity as a learner and reader and communicator

  • building confidence to advocate for your students and/or continued training for educators

  • developing a practice as classroom teacher of including AAC in classroom through the use of Universal Design

  • building confidence as a parent in advocating for your child’s communication needs at school
