Join us for Episode 4 of TCNJ AT Talks as we dive into the critical role of the SETT Framework in understanding Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). This episode unpacks how the SETT framework (Student, Environment, Task, Tools) guides the process of selecting the right high-tech AAC systems for non-speaking students, addresses common challenges like writing measurable IEP goals for AT, and explores various AAC apps. Tune in to learn about practical applications, emerging trends, and how to effectively advocate for communication technology.
