Toni C
Parent to an AAC user

I have taken many AAC courses and this is easily one of my favorites! This course is for those who aren’t familiar with AAC and for those that are but want to learn more. In each module, Lauren adds in “homework” or case studies that assist with relating the information back to the material. She even includes sample IEP goals, which I haven’t seen a course do yet. The content is widespread and contains a lot of information that you can implement right away with your students! I highly recommend this course!

Courtney R.
School Age SLP

If you are an SLP feeling stuck implementing AAC, then the AAC Essentials course is for you! Lauren developed a framework that breaks down the steps needed to successfully implement an AAC system. Lauren combines evidence-based research, years of clinical experience with AAC, and case studies to make her process come to life. The course will empower you as a clinician by providing real tools and actionable steps to use in your next session with your AAC users and the team you are working with.
