It covered what I said it would in the description. Having two presenters provided a more conversational approach at times vs. straight lecture. I took this course because the Part 2 is of high interest to me. This was a good intro to that topic.

Thank you for this unbelievable AAC protocol that will serve as an invaluable tool in my new career working with children on the Autism Spectrum. I now work at a behavioral center and was frustrated by some of the challenges I am facing with some very young, pre lingustic kiddos. I feel so confident now that I found a more objective tool I can use to classify the behaviors observed and develop long and short term goals that are measurable and practical. Thank you so much! I am very grateful!

I like that this course had examples that related to each level of communication. It will help me in the assessment process and help me with goal setting in the future for my students who are AAC users. A lot of my students are currently functional communicators, so it also gave me ideas of where to go with them to make their communication more generative.

The AAC profile seems like a good tool to use in determining where a child's linguistic development, EF and social/emotional skills are. A profile of this sort has been needed. I like that it strongly based in developmental expectations and helps quantify where to begin.

Overall, gaining insights into the communication profiles of AAC users with limited vocabularies and predictable communication patterns is invaluable for anyone involved in supporting individuals with complex communication needs. It equips you with the understanding and tools needed to facilitate communication and promote positive outcomes for AAC users in various contexts.

While the information about the communicator profile was excellent,I'm highly concerned that the presenters made it appear that there are pre-requisites to AAC. While they mentioned that you may need to simultaneously work on some skills (like when they discussed EF) while introducing AAC, it was not clarified that everyone access. SLPs have worked for years to overcome the idea that there are pre-requisites to AAC, especially with BCBAs encroaching on our field claiming to work on these skills.

Knowing the differences between each category and stage within the function and generative communicators is like have a Brown’s stages for AAC communicators. It’s wonderful to have each category and stage explicitly spelled out. This will serve as a guide as I plan treatment to know what areas of communication to target and when to move to the next level. I look forward using the AAC Communicator Profile.
