Speech and language pathologists (SLPs) in the Tasmanian state education system provide valuable supports to school children and staff, however there are limited resources to meet the need. The 'AAC in Classrooms' project was implemented in order to build the capacity of school staff to learn and utilise AAC in a sustainable way through online learning modules and a community of practice. A multidisciplinary working group involving SLPs and inclusion support staff was formed. The group implemented actions based on survey data gathered from school staff across the state regarding AAC skills, knowledge, and learning needs. The project is entering a monitoring and evaluation phase with early outcome data indicating that the project activities are meeting the ongoing AAC learning needs of school staff in Tasmanian state schools. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
