If you’re looking for a quick but powerful reminder of why early access to AAC matters, I really recommend watching this short webcast featuring Dana Nieder. Dana is the parent of an  AAC user, and she shares her family’s journey with honesty and clarity. It’s a compelling look at how access—not just to a device, but to communication itself—can shape a child’s life and learning.

While you’re there, take a few minutes to explore Penn State’s AAC Moodle—a fantastic collection of free, research-based training modules for anyone supporting AAC users. Definitely worth bookmarking.
