Ready to learn more about AAC? 

People can be very intimidated by AAC and this is something I get a lot of questions about from other SLPs. I decided to bring an expert on the topic onto the show to talk about all things AAC so that you can become the best SLP you can be. 

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, I sat down with Laura Hayes to dive into this topic so we can learn more about AAC, who needs it, teaching students advocacy, and so much more. 

Laura Hayes is a speech-language pathologist with over 14 years of augmentative and alternative communication experience in both school and medical settings. 

Laura has presented locally and at state, national, and international conferences such as MSHA, ATIA, AAC in the Cloud, Helix, TalkingAAC, and the Pediatric Perspectives Conference. She has been published and supported both inpatient pediatric and educational augmentative communication research.  She loves providing training, implementation resources, and guided direction to help with success using AAC.  She can be followed for more resources and ideas on Instagram. 

Tune in to learn more about making the most out of your therapy sessions with students that have an AAC!
