I've see some BIG mistakes when it comes to customizing AAC for gestalt language processors
- Completely changing the organization or layout of an AAC system
- Adding whole gestalts without regard for mitigations later on
- Ignoring or eliminating single words like core and fringe
- Embracing gestalt language processing without understanding AAC best practices
- Wondering if this is the best AAC system for your child
- Writing it off because there is no scientific research to back it up
But we don't need to keep making these mistakes!

You might be wondering...
Is this training even for me?
🤔
I think this is a perfect 2 hour training for you if…
- You're an SLP with kids on your caseload who aren't making progress with AAC
- You're a parent who thinks their child might need AAC and/or might be a GLP
- You are willing to adapt to learn new things and challenge "the way it's always been done"
This training is NOT for you if…
- You only use one facet of the evidence based practice triad in your practice
- You want a deep dive that includes topics like assessment, language sampling, etc.
Don't let another kid join your caseload without knowing how to support AAC for gestalt language processors!
The best way to help your students and families is to help yourself first. Get the knowledge and information you need to bring the best ideas to the table.
Let's imagine together...
- Being able to recommend appropriate AAC customizations for GLPs
- Making progress with your non-speaking or minimally speaking clients
- Feeling confident when talking about the evidence based practice triad
- Becoming the go-to AAC & GLP SLP for your clients and team
