SLPs – it’s time to take a new look at an old problem: AAC device abandonment. 🫣

Getting your client an AAC device is just the start of the journey.

Helping them integrate the device into their daily lives is often where the real work begins.

So how can you help them navigate that process?

Join us for a free one-hour webinar: “AAC Abandonment Reconsidered: A New Lens for SLPs” on Wednesday, October 28 at 4 p.m. ET.

You'll explore:
⭐️ Warning signs of reduced AAC use
⭐️ How the person, technology, care partners, and environmental factors influence long-term use
⭐️ Strategies for reassessment and intervention to prevent device abandonment

Plus, you’ll be eligible to earn 0.10 ASHA CEUs (1 PDHs) when you complete the course.

Together, we’ll:
⭐️ Explore communication tools, strategies, and resources
