Implementing AAC with DHH Students with Quinn Kelly

Wondering how you can better help your deaf and hard-of-hearing students when it comes to using their AAC and ASL? You’re in luck! 

I sat down with one of my 2024 March Speech Retreat Speakers, Quinn Kelly, to discuss how we can better implement AAC in combination with ASL with our deaf and hard-of-hearing students in speech therapy. Quinn is an expert and she’s sharing all of her tips in this episode! 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• How Quinn came to specialize in working with deaf and hard-of-hearing students and when she realized the power of AAC
• Students who qualify for AAC use
• Strategies for combining ASL and AAC
• How to choose devices and systems when working with these students

It’s so important that we better understand how to support our deaf and hard-of-hearing students, so make sure to check this episode out!
