Project Description:

The Augmentative and Alternative Communication Partnership Program (AAC-PP) is a statewide program designed to expedite clients access to evidence-based, high-quality augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) evaluations and treatment by building the capacity of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) across Wisconsin. The AAC-PP offers online learning modules and one-on-one coaching by CASC staff to support SLPs in the AAC assessment and speech generating device (SGD) acquisition process. To support AAC implementation after the assessment process, teams are invited to participate in ECHO-AAC (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes-AAC). ECHO-AAC is an online community and training model that provides AAC-related content from experts in the field, offers an opportunity for AAC providers to engage in case-based collaborative problem solving, and supports ongoing successful implementation of speech generating devices across settings. ECHO-AAC is an interdisciplinary community, which has included over 13 disciplines thus far in sessions.
