I use AAC with children to support functional communication with many of the children that I work with. For children who have more severe CAS, we will practice a few goals within our sessions. Most of the children on my caseload are using some form of AAC. I have used low tech (laminated pictures, laminated board, etc.) and high tech (picture word power, Nova chat, Touch chat, Prologue 2 go, etc.). AAC is incorporated into our sessions when we are targeting functional communication - using language to request, protest, greet others etc. I provide demonstrations for parents and support the use of AAC at home, school and in the community. I also have two clients who are using a keyboard to type messages. These clients are encouraged to say the sounds or words as they type their message. Most of the school aged clients I see in private practice, also see a school based SLP. The school based SLP often will focus on AAC and I will focus on motor speech skills.
