Wave goodbye to late night Googling and overwhelm and finally find all your AAC assessment answers in one spot. The AAC Assessment Hub provides a step-by-step process for conducting assessments along with data sheets, downloads, and more.
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 you’ve ever felt lost when it comes to conducting an AAC assessment, you 👏 are 👏 not 👏 alone.
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 don’t 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 don’t have a structured approach and without one, you fear your clients might end up regressing or not make progress at all.
When that first AAC assessment came across my desk, I might have panicked. Just a little 🤏. So, I did what everyone does.
But nothing made me feel confident in what I was doing.
That feeling is beyond overwhelming! But here’s the good news: You don’t need to be an AAC specialist to conduct a solid assessment and make informed recommendations. With expert guidance, practical tools, and clear workflows, you can build confidence and competence in AAC evaluations.
I’ve been an SLP for a decade, given presentations on both national and international stages, become a sought after leader in AAC, and I’ve finally created the assessment tool I wish I had when I first got started with AAC assessments.
No need to turn over every proverbial rock to find the AAC assessment solution.
it’s finally here.
Conduct a structured AAC assessment with clarity & confidence.
Trial multiple AAC systems and collect meaningful data.
Make informed feature-matching decisions.
Write clear, persuasive reports for funding approval.
Streamline the entire process without unnecessary stress.

Presented by Laura Hayes, M.S., CCC-SLP
Working with gestalt language processors can feel like walking through a maze without a map — especially when AAC gets thrown into the mix. This bonus module breaks it down so you can actually see the path forward. You’ll learn what makes GLPs tick, how AAC can support their natural language journey.
Presented by Cici Fritts, M.S., CCC-SLP
Eye gaze, switches, head tracking—oh my. When it comes to complex access, things can get complicated fast. This module helps you figure out what actually works for each communicator so nobody gets left out of the AAC conversation.
Presented by Bianca De Leon, M.A., CCC-SLP
Bilingual families shouldn’t have to choose which language gets to “count.” In this bonus, we’ll bust the biggest myths about bilingual AAC and show you how to create assessments that celebrate, not erase culture and language. Because when families feel seen and understood, communication blooms.
Presented by Charlie Danger, MSc, OT, ATP
AAC looks a little different across the pond, and this bonus walks you through what that means for assessment, funding, and real-world support in the UK. You’ll get an inside look at how England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland each approach AAC—and how to help families navigate those systems without losing their minds.

Three weeks. Three live calls. Bring your most challenging case.
Each call follows a module, but instead of more slides I’ll bring what’s been on my mind about that part of the process: things I’ve learned the hard way, what I’m seeing in my own caseload, and the stuff that never made it into the course. Then we spend the rest of the time on you.
Referrals, starting points, and that “okay… now what” feeling.
Bring the case you’ve been putting off and your questions about assessment tools & loaners.
Feature matching, trials, and decisions.
Bring your data, your doubts, and the case you can’t stop going back and forth on.
Reports and funding.
Bring your draft, your denial, or your blank page. We’re getting devices funded, baby!
No two calls will look the same. That’s kind of the point. Join all three or pick & choose. It’s up to you.

I love how Emily brought up stakeholders, as a parent to a non speaking child who is now an adult getting family In put and then carryover is very important for the success of the AAC user.

It finishes with therapeutic implementation support, including goal ideas, to take the next steps once a device is obtained. For any professional seeking to elevate their AAC practice, this course is an absolute must!
“I knew this course would be invaluable.”
Despite having almost 10 years of experience as an SLP, I’m continually reminded of how much there is to learn, particularly when it comes to AAC assessments. I’ve 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! 🙌
