Experiencing AAC Systems

Speech therapists are an important related service provider for students with language impairments to help support their expressive and receptive communication needs. Speech therapists frequently consult with general education teachers and special education teachers to provide training on the correct integration of augmentative and alternative communication systems and other types of assistive technology to help students meet their speech goals.

· Implementing AAC to facilitate engagement in learning

· Collaborative roles when working with special education and general education teachers
