Future speech-language pathologists at Oklahoma State University (OSU) are gaining hands-on experience with the many ways individuals access Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)!

Graduate students in the OSU Communication Sciences and Disorders AAC course recently participated in an AAC Access Methods Lab, where they explored a variety of augmentative and alternative access options using high-tech communication devices. Students had the opportunity to experience and learn about eye-gaze systems, head-tracking styluses, joysticks, adaptive mice, Guided Hands, and switch scanning.

The lab also featured finger-isolation tools, including keyguards, finger-isolation gloves, and toys designed to promote isolated finger movements. In addition, students explored switch-adapted toys, AAC device mounting options, and communication device harnesses.

Devices from Oklahoma ABLE Tech's Device Loan Program provided students with a professional development opportunity to understand the diverse access needs of AAC users and the importance of matching assistive technology to an individual!
