This seminar is designed for individuals involved in the identification, set up and training of AAC systems. The consideration of iPads/iPods in AAC Assessment will be discussed as well as strategies for app selection. Further, the afternoon session provides three one-hour break-out sessions for hands on training of three AAC apps: Proloquo2go, TouchChat and SonoFlex.  These sessions will include discussion on how to customize specific apps and AAC systems to meet individualized needs determined through assessment. All participants will have the opportunity to attend each break out session. Some iPads will be available for shared use (3 people to a station) during the hands-on training sessions.  Participants are also encouraged to bring their own iPads/iPods with Proloquo2go, TouchChat and/or SonoFlex/ SonoFlex Lite (SonoFlex Lite is a free app).
