You're ready to trial some AAC devices and start to think... how will I introduce it? Where should I start with vocabulary? What kind of data should I collect? How do I know if it is effective? In this session, we will begin to unravel the mysteries of AAC trials and seek to answer those questions. Using a single subject design framework, you can compare systems you trial with research-based strategies and analyze your data to guide your decision making.
