What this course is not...

  • This is not a device tutorial or button-by-button walkthrough. We focus on communication and implementation, not memorizing systems.
  • This is not compliance-based AAC. Our approach prioritizes autonomy, connection, and meaningful language.
  • This is not overwhelming theory without application. Every concept is tied to real-world classroom, therapy, and home strategies.
  • This is not about doing AAC “perfectly.” Progress happens through consistent, supportive modeling, not pressure.
  • This is not a one-size-fits-all intervention. AAC looks different for every communicator, and that flexibility is honored here.
  • This is not about adding more to your plate. The goal is to integrate AAC into what you already do every day.
