Welcome to our firs episode of AAC Tip Talks, a series of vlogs (video blogs) offering tips for professionals and partners supporting people who use AAC.  Each talk is a quick chat designed to give some initial strategies and connect you with resources to continue your learning.  All AAC Tip Talks are offered by AAC Mentors from across the global AAC community.

This first episode in the series brings practical and person-centered strategies for supporting communication partners as they support AAC users.  Dr. Jane Remington-Gurney of Options Communication Therapy and Training Centre in Queensland offers her wisdom and expertise as a seasoned AAC SLP and mentor.   I met with Dr. Remington-Gurney for an engaging hour a few months ago and had the pleasure of learning about her evidence-based and family-centered philosophy on supporting communication partners.  Dr.  Remington-Gurney brings a thoughtful perspective rooted in dynamic systems theory and centered on meeting families where they are.   You can watch the full talk with Dr. Remington-Gurney below.  You can also access an audio only episode at the end of this post, along with information about the online trainings offered at Options.
