Webinar 2-part Series Description:

After receiving an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device, many parents ask the same question: “We have the device—now what?” If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Learning how to effectively use and model AAC in everyday life is a key step in supporting your child’s communication success.

We invite you to join our two-part webinar series designed specifically for parents and caregivers navigating this next stage. This series focuses on practical, easy-to-implement strategies that you can begin using right away—at home, at school, and in your community.

In addition to hands-on guidance, you’ll be introduced to a valuable AAC training tool developed by Allie Taylor, a former South Carolina LEND trainee, with mentorship from Rachell Johnson through the South Carolina Assistive Technology Program. This resource was created to help families better understand and confidently use AAC in daily life.

Who Should Attend:
Parents and caregivers of AAC users, family members, speech-language pathologists, and other professionals supporting AAC users.

Presenter:
Rachell Johnson, MCD, CCC-SLP, ATP
Program Manager, South Carolina Assistive Technology Program (SCATP) and South Carolina LEND Faculty Member
