In this episode, I address common misconceptions regarding the prerequisites for using high tech augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices.
I discussed that the belief that students must exhibit certain skills like pointing, discriminating, or attending before using high tech AAC is a myth and provided practical tips and alternative methods to support clients who may not yet have these skills but have the potential to develop them.
This episode also highlights alternative funding sources for AAC devices, shares insights on hands-on practices for promoting essential skills, and emphasizes the importance of modeling and motivating activities.
