Description

with Darlene Hanson, MA , SLP and Katie Anawalt, MS, CCC-SLP, ATS

Building Communication: Expert Strategies in Speech, Language, and Augmentative Communication for Complex Needs

Join Darlene Hanson, MA, SLP and Katie Anawalt, MS, CCC-SLP, ATS as they share extensive experience and insights into speech, language, and communication strategies, particularly focusing on individuals with complex communication needs. 

The session highlights the critical role of establishing effective communication first, often through Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), before addressing speech-specific goals.  

The discussion clarifies the distinction between speech (the motor act of producing sound) and language (the socially shared system for expressing and comprehending meaning).  

Overall, the session provides valuable guidance on supporting individuals with diverse communication needs, advocating for comprehensive approaches that integrate speech, language, sensory, and motor planning interventions.
