Speed Dating with AAC

What's your comfort level with AAC?

• To be honest, I am terrified!

• I like the idea and the one app I know

• At least I'm more comfortable than the other staff at my school

• I am confident and people come to me for help

• I 'm not confident but people still come to me for help

I have requested IEP drive communication devices for my student(s).

• Yes and I chose the app myself because I was sure of what the student needed!

• Yes and I chose the app myself even though I wasn't sure what my student needed because I thought it would be quicker

• Yes and I chose the app myself because it was the only one I knew/had access to

• Yes and I did a consult/the team come in to help figure out what device would be best

• I haven't done any myself!

Approximately how many students on your caseload have IEP driven communication devices?

Out of those students, how many do you think have appropriate devices?

• All of them!

• Most of them seem to!

• They all just have the same device

• I have no clue because I am not really sure what makes one appropriate or not

• It doesn't really matter, they are just kept in the closet

How many students on your caseload don't have a device, but you think could benefit from an IEP driven one?

• A couple

• I honestly have no idea

• I'm too overwhelmed to think about it

• Most of them

• I'm not really sure how I should know if they are ready

What do you hope to get out of today?
