I’ve been seeking additional information regarding supporting families with AAC. This course was extremely informative and easy to digest as an SLP that is newer to AAC!

A lot of the strategies mentioned are not as beneficial for children with ASD. Strategies such as sabotage make it so that the child feels that communication/the device is work which in turn makes the device a job rather than their main form of communication. I have found that modeling what you want them to say or ways that they can instead communicate rather than "waiting them out" teaches the child a lot more than witholding things that are important to them.

The breaking down of elicitation vs teaching vs cueing strategies was helpful. However, I deducted points due to the lack of neurodiversity affirming strategies, the promotion of HOH prompting, and the promotion of 'shaping behaviors'. These strategies are harmful to autistic learners and increase the likeliness of prompt dependency. As this is listed as an introductory course, I am worried that new SLPs may normalize this type of behavior.

Best AAC webinar that I have experienced so far! I will use her framework to get more parent involvement. I was hesitant to reach out to the parents because I wasn't sure myself how to confidently go about it. It was going to take me time to figure out what I was going to teach the parents and then also what I was going to provide for them to do at home. She has made parent training and home usage a more manageable task and I am so thankful for this one-hour course. I learned so much!
