This family-centered workshop will identify evidence-based strategies to encourage the use of AAC systems in the home environment. Presenter Heather Miller Schwarz, M.S., CCC-SLP, will guide participants in how to:

• Build on your child’s current communication strengths
• Use AAC tools and strategies during existing activities and routines throughout the day to consistently strengthen skills
