IDEAS FOR INTRODUCING AAC - Session content from AAC in The Cloud Conference 2022
Our Tennessee Talks team presented an outstanding educational session at the AAC in The Cloud Conference 2022, offering ideas for introducing and supporting AAC use with children.
If you’re looking for AAC training opportunities
I miss going to conferences. There’s something so invigorating about getting away from work for a few days, visiting with my colleagues and professionals from the field, putting my hands on technologies, and learning about all that’s new. But, since COVID has put a damper on in-person events, I’ve come to realize just how awesome virtual instruction can be (saving our time, money, and health), by allowing us to learn from home. We want to share information with you about TWO great conferences coming up that will provide amazing instruction on ‘all things AAC’.
Current Trends in AAC Training and Coaching Survey
The purpose of the survey is to examine the extent of the education a therapist provides when dispensing a dedicated high-tech augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device. The frequency and type of education provided will be explored, in addition to whether the post-dispensing learning opportunity focuses primarily on the end user or both the end user and the communication partner.
You Don’t Have to Wait for a Child to Fail to Help Him
It’s time to admit I have a bit of a reputation. I’m that SLP who slates an AAC evaluation for a child’s second birthday.
What a Shame…..
This article was anonymously submitted for publication by a practicing SLP who feels very strongly that we should educate ourselves about recognizing and using the power of AAC for all who can benefit. For those without sufficient verbal abilities, AAC provides a means of communicating information, thoughts, ideas, opinions, and emotions like the rest of us. To deny this right (or devalue it) is the real shame here…
AAC Webinar Series - the Virtual Institute
The Tennessee Talks project is excited to announce our new series of virtual educational sessions addressing ‘all things AAC’. All activities are FREE and designed to support speech therapy staff, AT Specialists, special education teams, and families of children who use AAC.

The clinicians at Vanderbilt University Medical Center have taped the second video Martha Lynch Lecture. This will be offered as a live-to-self continuing education activity for 3 hours of instruction and also offers the option of earning 0.3 ASHA CEUs. The link to view the activity is here.
