Please read author’s note re: Core Vocabulary Boards
We offer assessment kits for Speech Language Pathologists and other AAC Service providers.
If you are not working with a Speech Language Pathologist who has an assessment kit, we provide downloadable fragments of the communication boards to aid in the assessment process. These can help determine if the targets (cells) and fonts are the right size for the user.
