AAC Family Chat - Wednesday, February 2nd
To Customize or Not to Customize? Let's explore how to customize AAC devices to personalize each student's voice and use strategies to say anything a student wants at any time. Join us from 6:30-7:30pm.
If you are unsure about whether or not your child uses AAC, your child’s teacher or speech-language pathologist should be able to help you.
