What is it about?
As more school-based professionals are becoming comfortable and competent in the area of AAC, districts can rely less on using private vendors. However, this requires a whole team approach that includes school district administrators. In order for school-based professionals to conduct valid AAC assessments and provide quality intervention, it is crucial that they have the support of their administration to assist in problem solving, facilitate training, create inclusive environments, and foster collaboration. This training defines AAC, reviews best practice for assessment and intervention, discusses barriers to quality AAC service in the schools, and provides ideas for breaking down those barriers so administrators can better support their teams.
Intended Audience:
School district administrators
