Advocacy: Preparing for the School Year

  • Semantic Compaction Systems, Inc. USA (map)

Semantic Compaction Systems webinar

“In preparation for the upcoming school year there are several issues reported as concerns for children needing AAC. Three of these relate to:

  1. Recommending the most appropriate AAC system vs. the one that the school is most familiar with and uses with “everyone”.

  2. Providing a program that “educates” the child vs. a program “placement”.

  3. Developing staff training to best support the child’s needs. This webinar will scratch the surface of these issues often from parents’ perspectives by identifying some of the challenges, possible solutions, and results.

Presenters include a well-known and experienced speech-language pathologist and currently a PRC-Saltillo Regional Consultant; and two parents of a child using AAC who have national recognition for their advocacy, and first-hand knowledge of challenges and solutions.”
