In this episode, SLP Sara Ware (Instagram) shares tips for guiding families and learners through the early stages of the AAC process, including:

1. Work with families to determine goals
2. Determine daily routines as opportunities to model language
3. Meet the family where they are at
4. Ask open-ended questions (including what has and hasn’t worked, and what they have and haven’t tried so far) before offering suggestions
5. SLPs can guide next steps, but work with families to make sure the next step feels “right-sized” for the families
