    In this episode, we explore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) to effectively integrate Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices into everyday routines. As October is AAC Awareness Month, we’re thrilled to welcome Kelly, an experienced SLP, to share insights from her 3.5 years of experience working in multidisciplinary pediatric centers.

    Discussion Topics:

    • What is AAC? Breaking down augmentative and alternative communication.
    • High-tech vs. Low-tech AAC: Examples like speech-generating devices (SGD) and PECS boards.
    • Evaluation Process for AAC: How to assess and select the right AAC system for each learner.
    • Dispelling Myths about AAC: Will AAC use discourage verbal communication?
    • Why Stimming on AAC Matters: The role of exploration in developing meaningful communication skills.
