AAConnect Online — AAC Training for Families and Carers

Kids+ Foundation invites you to join AAConnect Online, a flexible 10-week program designed to deepen your understanding of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) and empower you to better support the AAC user in your life.

Delivered entirely online, AAConnect combines self-paced learning with live group sessions so you can build your skills and confidence without having to leave home.

What Is AAConnect Online?

AAConnect Online is a structured course for parents, carers, support workers, and anyone who plays a role in the life of a child or young person who uses AAC. Whether your AAC user relies on a speech-generating device, a communication board, or a specialised app, this program will help you become a more effective and confident communication partner.

What You'll Learn

Over 10 weeks, you'll gain practical strategies and knowledge to meaningfully support your AAC user, including how to:

• Develop strategies to support AAC use and grow as a communication partner

• Increase your understanding of your AAC user's systems and devices

• Help your AAC user communicate a range of words and language functions — from saying hello to asking questions

• Access the best available AAC resources

• Share experiences, challenges, and wins with a like-minded peer community

How It Works

The online content is self-paced and takes approximately 10 hours to complete. You'll also join five live Zoom tutorial sessions of 1.5 hours each.

AAConnect Online is delivered by Kids+ AAC Coordinators and Speech Pathologists, Rachel Harkin & Molly White - experienced professionals passionate about helping families unlock the power of AAC.
