Talking With Tech AAC Podcast · Recast: Talking with Tech Roundtable: Early Intervention & AAC · 19 Jul 2024 podcast

Perfect.

I agree.

One argument that it was made to me recently, which I thought was interesting, was the idea that taking a two-year-old and giving them the device almost violates the concept of presumption of competence, right?

Because we need to sort of like assume at that age that the child is still going to develop language.

The obvious, I think, response to that is we have a lot of evidence that multimodal communication, you know, is great all around, whether that's just bilingualism or it's

using AACN signs and oral language simultaneously.

I think one thing that we need to really hit home though is that we do want to honor all modalities, right?

So if you want oral language to continue developing, then when there is input orally, you honor it, right?

That you respect that as language just as much as the use of the device would be.

You know, one of the other complaints that I get is concerns about screen time,

often do you hear typically developing children, you know, making noises and saying random things in other rooms?

Yeah.

You allow those things.

Absolutely.

What about one of the other barriers that I hear about often, which is just cost of low-tech relative to high-tech AAC?

Maybe that doesn't come up as much in LA.

Well, and I would just chime in, too, and say that it's becoming less expensive, too.

I mean, even with a kid's Kindle or an Android tablet, I mean, it can get a quote-unquote high-tech device in the $30 or $40 range now.

And I'm not saying that that's going to be a robust system to last forever, but it's something that you can trial.

So it sounds like we have a couple different takeaways here, right?
