Summer Learning For Professionals 2024

Summer is just around the corner! Congratulations to all the rock-star professionals for an incredible academic year of helping others find their voice through AAC. Here are seven ways to rock on with AAC this summer! Which one will you choose?

Exchange ideas on Jane’s Place

A true rock star for AAC, Jane Odom enjoyed making engaging materials for those using AAC and their communication partners. And she encouraged others to do the same. Jane’s Place—an online space to exchange implementation resources that support individuals who use AAC—was created to honor Jane’s memory. You’ll find fun materials for your learners and be inspired to share your creations…because AAC rocks!

Sign up for AAC coaching for professionals

AAC Pro Coaching Clinic features the benefits of a coach and a group! Join a cohort of professionals eager to rock their communication partner skills, learn about new resources, and network with others.
