In one program that I worked with, the school system or AT support team was very clever about using online trainings with device companies and or information to train staff.    In another school system where I worked it was mandatory for an assistant to work with a student; in fact, they were able to receive credit for it.

To increase your knowledge of AAC, check out these resources:

• The Implementation Tool Kit on the DynaVox website has an enormous amount of information for teachers, therapists and assistants.
• Be sure to also check out the device training webinars that the company offers.

What suggestions or websites to help train staff do you have to share?
