In this area you will find links to informing and profiling AAC knowledge and skills (IPAACS) which remains a really good way to identify learning needs, and also a series of modules that relate to specific elements within IPAACS. These modules include An Introduction to AAC and, just recently launched, 2 sets of modules with very specific target audiences. |
Firstly there are the technology modules. Your role may include preparing or adapting AAC, for example adding vocabulary to the AAC, or you may be responsible for managing the resources and thinking about data privacy implications or charging the equipment. You may be a classroom assistant or personal carer for someone who uses AAC and you may find yourself the go to person for the AAC equipment. This learning has been developed with you in mind! Secondly there are the assessment modules. You may be a speech and language therapist or student or a teacher or someone working in a voluntary sector organisation with responsibility for assessing and recommending devices and strategies to support.
