As with all educational and therapy materials, the abilities and limitations of the individual must be considered before choosing these or any AAC materials for usage.
Recommendations for appropriate Speech Language Therapy, therapy materials or communication systems can only be made by a qualified Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) following a formal multi-factored Speech and Language evaluation. There are many different aspects of the individual's abilities and degrees of severity of communication abilities, methods, and differences that must first be determined through formal evaluation by a qualified professional before therapy can begin.
The clinician's familiarity with AAC methods is assumed. All materials are sole property of SpeechPage.com and are not endorsed, sponsored by or associated with any other company or affiliation.
