SLP Nerdcast · Considerations for Design and Implementation of AAC for Clients with CVI · 2 Feb 2026 podcast

Uh, we're super happy to, as you know, because we've been chatting so much.

Um, you're here to talk to us about considerations for design and implementation of AEC for clients who have CVI.

Before we get started with the exciting topic, can you just tell us a little bit about yourself and your work with CVI?

Your background is so interesting and you obviously come to this topic with a lot of experience. podcast-host

As somebody who started off in the field of speech pathology, really interested in AAC from the very beginning, I knew nothing about CBI when I first started out.

Um, and I would go to professional developments and I would go to conferences, um, and I would hear, you know, all of these messages around the importance of core vocabulary, the importance of a robust symbol system.

Um, so I have been really fortunate to work with some amazing TVIs um and OM specialists.
