Carson Covey: AAC User and Future SLP

Carson Covey: AAC User and Future SLP

This week, the TWT team presents Chris’s interview with Carson Covey, social media manager & AAC mentor at Jill Tullman & Associates, ambassador with PRC, and AAC user! Carson shares about changing his AAC system to TouchChat; the importance of having his circle of support use his device; updating AAC devices when sheltering at home; and going to school to become an SLP!

Before the interview, Chris and Rachel play AAC Bingo & score themselves on AAC in their lives, including advocating modeling, using low tech AAC, valuing motor planning, and using AAC memes.

Key ideas this week:

🔑 Having an AAC user’s 1:1 aide know and use the device can be a huge help when navigating the school environment inside and outside of class. Having the family know the device is similarly helpful at home.

🔑 It is important to avoid helping AAC users too much - we must give them the time and opportunity to communicate before jumping in to help.

🔑 AAC users should trust in themselves, and trust their technology!
