Overview of Course
As an AAC Clinician, you play a crucial role in the language and literacy development of children with complex communication needs. While language and communication are important, it's essential to take a step back and assess proper seating and positioning.
That's why this course is truly unique. Written by a speech-language pathologist, it delves into the various types of equipment used for children with complex communication needs and highlights the importance of optimal positioning for communication.
With this course, you'll be inspired to work closely with physical therapists to ensure that every child you work with has the best possible position for effective communication. Through this professional development opportunity, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to make a significant impact in the lives of your clients.
