Get .1 ASHA CEU hereAided modeling interventions are becoming a common recommendation in the field of AAC. You hear about it at conferences, you see it posted on social media, it’s listed on popular reference websites. It’s kind of a hot topic.But - what is it exactly? Is it called aided language stimulation, aided language modeling, or aided language input? With everyone calling it different things and doing it in different ways it’s hard to tell if you are doing it correctly.Plus, a lot of the references out there on social media and blog posts don’t review the literature. Fortunately there is a lot of literature out there, but there is a lot of variation. In this episode we review several articles and meta-analyses to get a feel for the overall evidence out there. We also discuss what evidence we have in the literature support its use and how we can apply it effectively with our clients / students / patients.
