Workshop Descriptions
AAC Apps: The Pros and Cons – AAC apps have increased both the interest in AAC and the availability of AAC
systems for many who have not had access to a communication system before now. This presentation will walk the audience
through the decision-making process on determining what tool (an AAC dedicated device or an AAC app, and which one)
should be recommended. There are sound AAC evaluation principles and procedures that the Speech-Language Pathologist
will be using to match the individual with an AAC system. This presentation will go beyond the pros and cons of determining if
an AAC app should be considered. The presenter will review the pros and cons of available AAC systems so that the team can
make a well-informed decision for an AAC recommendation.

function and ability.

Transitions: Moving Along with AAC
9:00-12:00 Presentation
12:00-2:00 Discussion and Q/A regarding AAC
Transitions are a significant issue for AAC users. Transitions for these individuals are both movement and
change. Movement is hopefully forward, in increasing language levels, literacy levels, educational
placements (early intervention to adulthood), and from simple AAC systems to complex technology.
Transitions can also mean change. Change can occur in change of symbol set chosen (this is a difficult
thing), in support staff or, for those with complex motor issues, how a device is accessed. Transitions, either a movement or change for those individuals who use AAC across a lifetime, requires well thought out
planning. This presentation will outline possible transitions that individuals may face during their lifetime as
