For families & care teams
AAC Evaluations
AAC can be a game changer in finding your child's voice.
Augmentative & alternative communication (AAC) can be a game changer in finding your child's voice. Choosing a system is a big decision, so the process is built around trying things out, not guessing from a spec sheet.
The base evaluation covers the hands-on clinical work and clear written recommendations. If you'd like help with the funding process, a $650 add-on covers insurance submission, obtaining physician records, working with vendors and handling one appeal.
Every evaluation starts with a free 20-minute consultation call, so we can talk through your child's needs and make sure an evaluation with me is the right next step before we begin.
The process
- 1
Evaluation
Up to 2–3 hours of personalized, play-based clinical testing across multiple AAC systems, while gathering important information from you as the caregiver.
- 2
Trial phase
We trial a few options over the span of 4–6 weeks, so the recommendation is based on what actually works for your child in real life.
- 3
Funding (optional add-on)
If you add funding support, I handle the insurance submission, obtain the required physician records, work directly with the device vendors, and handle one appeal if it's needed.
