This week, the TWT team is pleased to share the second half of the “Golden Rules of AAC Competency in a New Era of Communication.” This session was originally presented by Lucas, Chris, and Rachel as part of the #XedAAC18 conference!
 
Key ideas this week include:
? Overlapping treatment with other professionals can teach you strategies you did not learn in your own professional training.
? It is important to support an AAC user’s “operational competency” - the ability to turn on the device, change the volume, plug it in, etc.
?  The COLE (Continuum of Language Expression) is a free tool used by therapists and IEP teams to evaluate early language development. http://bit.ly/colegooglesheets
 
Before we present the second half of the “Golden Rules”, Chris and Rachel discuss accessible programming, learning from other professionals, operational competency, and more!
