"Should I Start an AAC Business?" & Other Listener Questions

This week, the TWT team answers questions from our listeners! They address the following questions:

 

• I’ve thought about starting an AAC consulting business, but I doubt at times that I have enough experience. What should I do?
• What do you think about recent videos from Pyramid/PECS that seem to argue that we shouldn’t introduce core words until a student has already learned a number of fringe words?
• How can we best talk to parents about interventions that are not evidence-based, like the rapid prompting method (RPM), when the parent has a positive opinion about it?

 

This is one of TWT’s most thought-provoking and interesting episodes. You won’t want to miss it!
