Challenge
- Communication partners are often unfamiliar & untrained in AAC.
- Current approaches to partner training are often inefficient, ineffective, not personalized, and limited in scope & reach.
Goals
The new RERC on AAC will develop a user-friendly app to create partner mTrainings that can be deployed “just in time” to teach partners AAC strategies. The app will include step-by-step instructions and video demonstrations of each step. Once developed, the RERC on AAC will evaluate the usability of the app and the impact of mTraining on communication partners.
Updates
Janice Light and colleagues presented an update on the mTraining project at RESNA 2022.
