Abstract

Caregivers and interventionists all need the same information about how to support language development when language is being developed through augmentative communication systems. Through learning about the importance of immersion practices, caregivers and interventionalists were empowered to support and advocate for various types of verbal expressions and speech that occurred through speech generating devices.
