Get .1 ASHA CEU hereIt takes two (Kate’s singing somewhere, listen to the podcast, you’ll get it) - at least two, for communication. When introducing aided AAC tools to people with complex communication needs, it isn’t just about them - things they have to learn, changes they need to make. Optimal communication and acquisition of new skills requires something from the partner as well.In this podcast we’ll review several studies on partner training that just might make you think about things a little differently. We’ll give some background on what the literature says about partner training, why you should think about incorporating it into your practice, and consider some potential obstacles and workarounds that might fit your environment.Expect to learn the common communication behaviors seen in partners of aided AAC users, frequently used methods employed in partner training programs, and specific questions to ask yourself prior to embarking on a partner training program. We’ll provide an overview of the work of Kent-Walsh and Binger with the ImPAACT program, and hopefully you’ll get as inspired as we were!Come join us, be our nerdy friend, listen, learn, and earn ASHA CMHs (other providers check with your credentialing organization to find out if our quiz and certificate of participation counts toward the professional development requirements for your license, email us with any questions!).ASHA Professional Development hours are offered for this course (1 certification maintenance hour).
