From Course Attendees

  • Sienna K.

    I was clueless about AAC before this training. I can't wait to apply what I learned to my work as a BCaBA! Thank you!

  • Stephanie T.

    Love the way AAC was explained to be applicable to everyone, not just those who use it! Thank you

  • Sydney A.

    Fantastic tips and strategies to use when introducing to new learners and other individuals on the learner's team. Great parent training goal idea!

  • Vanessa B. A.

    Further training in this topic is much needed in the ABA community. For example, it would be helpful for RBTs to watch videos on contriving situations when modeling the use of AAC. Thanks so much for looking into this needed topic!

  • Kellie P.

    I loved the section that described how to model AAC and the examples given. Very helpful!

  • Elana F.

    I loved the word of the week strategy for aac students and the ways to incorporate parents with their child's device.

  • Kez R.

    Great name for the course as it was very approachable and easy to understand, especially coming from someone relatively unfamiliar with AAC implementation - thank you!

  • Bree C.

    This was great! So helpful to not only be told what to do but why to do it- this really helps increase "buy in."

  • Patricia G.

    This was a great workshop. Very practical and easy to understand. I am going to use the strategies at a parent training.

  • Anna J.

    This presentation was extremely helpful and pairs very well with the AAC guidebook!

  • Raquel A.

    So many aha moments! Cannot wait to dive into the book.

  • Ericka C.

    A great example of collaborating while presenting on AAC collaboration and a team approach. Paced for digestion, understanding, and brainstorming opportunities. I also appreciated the terms for both BCBAs and SLPs
