5 Things You Need to Know About Low Tech Options for High Tech AAC Users

Presenter(s): Beth Poss MA, CCC-SLP

Date: Tuesday 3/31/20 @ 5:00PM PT / 8:00PM ET

Description: While dynamic display voice output devices with robust vocabulary and the ability to compose messages using symbols, text or spelling affords most individuals using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices the most comprehensive and effective means to communicate, high tech devices are not always practical, available or desired. All individuals need to be multi-modal communicators. Join me as we explore creative low tech options for individuals who use AAC! In this session we will consider the variety of reasons that individuals using AAC may need low tech systems and considerations in developing these low tech alternatives.  We will examine text based, symbol based, visual, and auditory options that you can use depending on your client’s specific needs. We will also explore tools that can be used to create these systems efficiently and to complement existing high tech systems.
