Description

If you know someone with autism, this is an episode you can’t miss.

AAC isn’t just about communication—it can actually improve speech outcomes. In this episode, we dig into the latest meta-analytic research on AAC and autism, covering:

• Low-tech vs. high-tech AAC: which one truly impacts speech outcomes
• Why sentence strips and voice output devices are game-changers
• The power of pointing, commenting, and sentence frames like “Look at”
• Why SLPs should adopt an all-of-the-above AAC approach instead of “either/or” thinking

You’ll walk away with evidence-based strategies you can implement on Monday morning to boost both speech and language outcomes for your autistic learners.
