Getting a speech-generating device funded is a multi-step process that can fill speech-language pathologists with questions and fears. Who can do an AAC evaluation? What goes into the AAC evaluation report? What other documents are needed? If you have asked these questions, then this class is for you. This session will walk through the process from gathering your assessment information, putting the evaluation report together, submitting needed funding documents, to what happens after submitting to the funding source.  

Devices are not required for this training.

 

Learning Outcomes: 

1. List the needed information for an AAC evaluation report.
