Uh assistive technology evaluation process and compare notes about how that's done in different areas.
podcast-host
And uh who was sitting next to me was Dr.
podcast-host
Lauren Kravitz Bonnet and we learned kind of quickly as people were sharing how they do it that we do it in our neck of the woods a little bit differently, sort of aligns with how I think you we talk about AAC, but I'm we were talking more about assistive technology in general.
podcast-host
Um
podcast-host
about how you consider things and how you make it a collaborative discussion and you get everybody's input, including the family, and then we leave on the same page.
podcast-host
But a lot of people are still not doing it that way, where it is maybe a person going doing an evaluation, writing up a report and sending it to people.
podcast-host
So it was just a nice healthy discussion about the differences and maybe sharing like
podcast-host
You don't have to do it that old way, that there's some places that have evolved to this more collaborative model.
podcast-host
Oh yeah, super exciting.
podcast-host
In fact, I think there were two sessions on it.
podcast-host
One of them I couldn't even make it to, but uh something I learned in that session was um there've been, you know, as as we've evolved to uh the specific language system first approach, there have been people that have been nervous about it, right?
podcast-host
We've heard this before.
podcast-host
Um uh we aren't we predetermining or aren't we um what are all the things, right?
podcast-host
But one of the biggest detractors was in that room and we had a conversation afterwards and said, you know, I've I I I get it.
podcast-host
I actually like it.
podcast-host
I just don't like it when people do it wrong.
podcast-host
And what that means is there are some places that are doing it wrong where they're saying we only use this tool, we don't use anything else.
podcast-host
And that's not the model.
podcast-host
The model is we use this tool mostly and we customize from there.
podcast-host
It's a multi-tiered system of supports.
