This is the first time I've heard about their communicator profile and I like it a lot. I think it will help to provide a basis for conversation with teachers and parents about a student's strengths and areas for further growth.

This communication profile tool seems like a structured support for applying clinical judgement. It would be even more useful if backed up with trials, or at least with more direct links to the literature on differential diagnosis of communication skills with children using some/any form of AAC vs. those that used only verbal communication, as most developmental norms are.

As a school SLP, it's great to have a way to gather information about a communicator and to summarize the profile succinctly. I use a profile/checklist for prek that can get daunting to complete with the team, write up, and explain without being too complex/time-consuming. This one seems to give very similar information but with less levels and jargon. It could be more appropriate place to start for many of my cases. I appreciated seeing how it would have been used with a real client!

This course was very informative for introducing an AAC device to children and to see their prognosis as the advance in communication using the device. The profile communicators determines the levels of communication categories on AAC device was very informative and that each students profile is useful for all non-verbal children. Also, good to know that every student needs or should have a profile communicator to establish success in communicating.

Loved the case study example and walking through the AAC communicator profile initially and then when re-evaluating the client to determine the AAC communication category. Trina and Beth conveyed the content in a helpful and easy to understand way and the profile they created just makes sense and I feel would be easy for parents/caregivers to follow. I'm excited to take Part 2 in goal development. Thank you!
