Spring 2017

We are in our final year of the project.  We have completed a great deal over these past 3 years, and in the next 9 months we will see the culmination of the whole project!  Our team is very excited that we will soon be able to share our AAC assessment protocols with you.

What have we accomplished so far?  We have completed 4 scoping reviews of the literature in AAC assessment and presented these data at national and international conferences.  We are in the process of preparing manuscripts for publication to a variety of journals.  We want the information from these reviews to reach a wide audience and not just AAC-focused clinicians.

We have completed the protocols for assessing children with autism and adults with aphasia!  We are looking for individuals who specialize in AAC and autism or AAC and aphasia to help us validate the protocols.  The protocols for ALS and Cerebral Palsy are in development and we will be seeking participants to help validate those protocols later in the spring.  In the summer and fall we will be seeking General Practice SLPs to try out the protocols.  If you are interested in participating in any of our current or future studies, please contact aaclab@uwm.edu
