Introduction to AAC

Description

A hands-on introduction to various AAC devices for anyone with a personal or professional interest.

This day introduces you to EATS and is a good foundation in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).

You will learn different terminology used in the specialism; the difference between complexity of devices; key concepts related to implementing and making AAC work; how and when to refer to the specialist service and other essential knowledge needed to work in this area.

The session is a good mix of theory and practical activities, and the day concludes with a generous interactive session for all to have a chance to have hands on experience with many devices and communication tools.

The course is for anyone who wants information about AAC, whether you are a client, family member, paid carer, teacher, Speech & Language Therapist, other Allied Health Professional or anyone else who has an interest.

If you are booking for a group, please supply details for each member of your party at checkout. This helps us to get an idea of who the course is helping, and in which manner. Thank you!
