Speech Therapy:
Speech Therapy (with or without AAC): In-home speech and language therapy in either English, Spanish, or provided bilingually, with or without technology. Sessions run 30-45 minutes, depending on the child and goals. I will work with your family to create functional goals that will make communication easier on a day to day basis. We will work on overall communication, social language, as well as academic language such as literacy and reading skills.
AAC Evaluation:
An overview of AAC and various applications. Discussion of any maintaining factors that would impede direct access to AAC (e.g. using a finger to make a selection). We would then try various applications with your child to determine which application might be beneficial to support your child’s communication needs.
Evaluation Write Up is additional.
AAC Training:
60 minutes either in person or virtual. In-depth overview of chosen AAC application as well as any other necessary iOS or dedicated device features. Included is 15 minute follow up to discuss any further questions.
AAC Implementation:
60 minutes. Additional set up of application. I will assist the family in how to best use the application over various contexts. I will work with current speech goals to demonstrate how to also use them with AAC. This time could also be spent working with other disciplines and assisting with implementation of communication goals within their sessions.
