In this episode, Michelle and Erin discuss a topic dear to their hearts: busting common myths surrounding the utilization of speech-generating AAC devices in early intervention. The ladies of First Bite spend this hour empowering listeners on the steps to initiate a speech-generating device (SGD) trial within the world of EI, how to overcome common barriers such as the myth “but the device will prevent them from talking,” how to engage and encourage caregivers to use an SGD AAC device during their daily routines, as well as troubleshooting the simple steps to submit for insurance approval.
