During their time at ATIA, Laura and Nikki attended insightful sessions on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), covering topics such as:
Parent coaching for AAC users
Assessing and writing goals for emergent communicators
Creating switch-adapted toys and games
Ethics and leadership in AAC
AAC strategies for gestalt language processors
In addition to these educational sessions, they explored the Exhibition Hall, where they connected with leading AAC and assistive technology companies, learning about new products and emerging innovations in the field.
Laura and Nikki are excited to bring back their knowledge and insights to share with the National Therapy Center (NTC) families and continue supporting our clients with the best tools and strategies available!
