Struggling to navigate AAC assessments on your own?
The world of AAC can sometimes feel like the wild, wild west. With no formal or standardized assessment processes in place, moving forward with complete confidence is just plain hard. If youāve ever felt lost when it comes to conducting an AAC assessment, you š are š not š alone.
Many SLPs face the exact same challenges:
- You're unsure where to start when an AAC referral comes in, leaving you looking like a deer in headlights when parents and clients are looking to you for guidance.
- You donāt know how to trial devices or make feature-matching decisions and making the wrong decision or not educating yourself first feels catastrophic and unethical.
- Writing a report and securing funding feels like a maze of paperwork on top of a caseload we both know is more than you signed up for.
- You want to support your clients effectively but donāt have a structured approach and without one, you fear your clients might end up regressing or not make progress at all.
Trust me when I say…
I’ve been there. Done that.
When that first AAC assessment came across my desk, I might have panicked. Just a little š¤. So, I did what everyone does.
it’s finally here.

"I knew this course would be invaluable."
"Despite having almost 10 years of experience as an SLP, Iām continually reminded of how much there is to learn, particularly when it comes to AAC assessments. Iāve been following Emily on Instagram forever, and have always enjoyed her AAC tips and content. So when I found out she was launching a course on AAC assessments, I knew this course would be invaluable. I especially enjoyed the real-life application case studies within the course (next best thing to getting that hands-on experience), as well as how she tailored her guidance for different settings, which was incredibly helpful given my roles in both school-based and private practice environments. I highly recommend this course to any SLP seeking to strengthen their AAC assessment skills! š"
