Julie A. Doerner, M.S. CCC-SLP
What is “best practice” for use of AAC with a student? Attendees will receive information to confidently help individuals who rely on AAC. This session will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn the “ins and outs” of the iOS app, “Proloquo2Go” from www.assistiveware.com. Participants will learn to navigate the app, discover new features and practice programming the app in a way that is salient. The group will review case studies and talk about specific student’s needs. Julie will share teaching strategies so interactions with AAC/Proloquo2Go are enjoyable for the student, the family, instructor and staff
