An Overview of NHSE Specialised AAC Services and Local AAC Service Development
A Talk by Julie Atkinson and Anna Reeves
About this Talk
This presentation aims to help you understand NHS England specialised AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) services – who they are for, how to access them and what to do if a person is not yet eligible for these services.
This will include an overview of how these services became established, the referral process, prioritisation criteria, what is expected of the referrer and what to expect from the specialised AAC service.
In addition, this presentation will address routes to AAC provision for children and adults who are not or not yet eligible for these services, and signpost useful resources.
This presentation is 30 minutes.
