Vision, Voice, and Choice: Navigating AAC Options for Complex Visual Needs




This session will equip educators, speech-language pathologists, and parents with the knowledge and skills to improve AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) strategies for individuals with cortical visual impairment (CVI). Examining best practices in AAC, symbol selection, and application bridges understanding with practical use. Key objectives include understanding the visual processing challenges of those with CVI and emphasizing collaboration with Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments to create effective solutions. Participants will learn to recognize the visual preferences of individuals with CVI, select appropriate symbols, systems, and devices, and adapt communication methods like partner-assisted scanning and tactile or auditory channels.
