I got a sneak peak of this last week, it’s going to be a great resource for those looking to develop their AAC knowledge!

October is AAC awareness month so I thought I'd re-share the four Ps model we use to describe the different types of AAC at @barnsleyAT.
I prefer these terms to 'low tech' and 'high tech' as they give equal value to all forms of AAC, which people might use alone or together.

Over 20 since I designed SEN Switcher and it went Live on the NGFL website yet it's still #1 downloaded activity from my website. Build it right and people will use and value it. #timeless
