Consultative Services to support Implementation of AAC

Determined on case-by-case basis
Consultation services are provided to teams on behalf of a specific AAC user, or a small group of users in a shared environment such as a classroom or adult placement.  
  • For individuals, consultative services occur after an AAC evaluation has taken place and AAC tools are obtained, or as part of the process of developing AAC tools following an evaluation. Consultation may include device training or customization, but will primarily focus on implementation strategies such as creating communication opportunities, training communication partners, and fostering communicative competence. 
  • For a targeted environment, consultative services may focus on use of specific AAC tools and strategies, embedding communication opportunities across activities, training communication partners, or engineering environments for communication and participation. 
  • Permission to video before or during the consultation may be requested.
  • Consultative services may occur once, on an ongoing basis, or periodically on an "as needed" basis.
