She used these vehicles to share tips and resources on a number of topics, including AAC. (We’ll leave that rant/topic for another post and keep this one focused on solutions.)Ī number of years ago, SLP Angela Moorad began publishing posts on this topic at her wonderful blog, Omazing Kids, and a related Facebook page. It’s disheartening that they need to even do this, but, for many, the reality is that either the SLPs figure it out or it just doesn’t happen. So, what’s a clinician to do? Savvy SLPs have a variety of strategies for getting the resources they need. And, as any practicing SLP knows, the budget for materials ranges from minimal to non-existent. Most service delivery settings where AAC evaluations take place (e.g., clinics, schools, hospitals), though, fail to provide SLPs with the adequate range of AAC tools they need to do their jobs well. And sometimes those tools are less tangible, like software, digital subscriptions, and apps. Sometimes those tools are tangible items, like formal tests, mirrors, computers, and penlights. No matter how skilled these professionals are, they can’t do their work without the tools necessary for the job.
