Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) users often share the frustrations related to not feeling heard when attempting to advocate for him/herself. This presentation highlights how one program has attempted to improve student outcomes and give them a voice through opportunities outside of the classroom and use of technological resources.
Whilst AT Network strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so when linking to documents and sites outside of our site. We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring these other areas up to the same level of overall web accessibility. In the meantime, should you experience any difficulty in accessing the material, please don’t hesitate to contact us at matthewn@vt.edu.
