Module 1 - Where to Start
7 Lessons
In my CF (Clinical Fellowship) year I had multiple students with AAC. I had limited training and education on AAC, but I was passionate about helping my students and clients communicate.
I began attending AAC sessions at TXSHA, CSHA, and ASHA. I took a college certificate course in the area of Assistive Technology (CSUN) and one in the area of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (Stockton University). I also attended a 4-day AAC intensive training by the Diagnostic Center of Southern California. It was exhausting, expensive, and it took many years to gain the skills I needed.
I created The Talk Back Team for AAC so YOU can build your skills at home and on your schedule. You don't have to spend years and $1000's of dollars, nor do you have to be a "techie." You can build your knowledge and skills to confidently support AAC users and their teams.

I understand, I have been there! As a single parent of 2 kids (they are partially leaving the nest now), I know what it means to be busy and juggle so many things. I created this as a self paced course. You can listen while doing the dishes, going for a walk, or sitting on your cozy couch. You will have access to this course as long as the platform exists. Take the time you need!
You do NOT have to be a techie to support your AAC user. While AAC can include technology, supporting AAC is more about building language and communication. You don't have to love technology or be techie to effectively support your AAC user effectively! This course will equip you with the skills and resources to work with some major AAC Applications.
Whether you are working with an AAC user now or in the future, these skills will make significantly affect an individual's ability to communicate. Growing and learning will improve your marketability and could also increase your salary. Also, I have done the groundwork. I have researched, practiced, and brought together the tools you need.
