Professional AAC Consulting &
In-Service Training
We provide group in-services on the topic of AAC to empower teachers, service providers, caregivers, and support staff in implementing AAC systems in and out of the classroom. We will introduce what AAC is, how it is used, and strategies for being a confident communication partner to students who are AAC users. In-services can be tailored to the specific types of devices and tools used by students in your school.
In-service trainings are scheduled for a length of 2 hours and can be planned for a group of up to 30 participants. In-services can be customized to the participants and student populations served with advanced notice. Please contact us for pricing information.

AAC Evaluations
We provide comprehensive Augmentative and Alternative (AAC) Evaluations to determine the most effective and supportive solutions for children with speech communication challenges. Through observation, assessment tools, and collaboration with educators and families, we identify individual needs and recommend tailored AAC strategies to enhance communication in academic and social settings. We strive to empower students with effective communication tools tailored to them.
How will a professional AAC evaluation inform the IEP and therapy process?
An AAC evaluation serves as the foundational step in designing individualized interventions that optimize communication outcomes. By identifying communication needs, selecting an appropriate system, and customizing therapy approaches, children have the opportunity to thrive in all the areas that IEPs are designed to support, including academic, social, and emotional growth.
