Rushing from home to home and eating lunch in your car? The life of a home health SLP can feel nonstop, and fitting in AAC for your patients can feel overwhelming.

Tips for Home Health
- Take advantage of being in the home setting to personalize your patient’s AAC device by taking photos of areas of the home, favorite foods, medications, and family members.
- Home health is also perfect to get family and communication partners on board – one of the biggest factors for success with AAC. Encourage all available family members to join in sessions and to learn to use and program the AAC device.
