About the course
Our highly successful accredited training course, Supporting Children and Adults using AAC, is written for practitioners supporting users of AAC, equipping them with innovative tools and methods to develop and encourage communication. The course is valuable for SaLTs and SaLT assistants wanting to develop their practice. Andrea Lee, who wrote the course and will be supporting the live webinars, is a highly specialist speech and language therapist. She shares a wealth of practical strategies and activities with underpinning theoretical knowledge to give learners a thorough grounding in this complex area.
This specialist training course is a MUST for anyone looking for practical advice and strategies to support users of AAC effectively.
The course programme involves:
- Online modules which are completed through self-study at a time that suits you but must be completed before the live webinars
- Live webinars which are an hour long and are pre-arranged at specific times
