Early Intervention AAC Handout | Preventing Device Abandonment for EI SLPs

They're about to put the device in a drawer. This one-page handout gives families a reason to keep going and gives you something to hand them before they do.

What's included:

✔ 6 research-backed stages of AAC progress in parent-friendly language

✔ Color + B&W versions included

✔ APA reference page included

✔ Warm, validating content that meets caregivers exactly where they are

✔ Parent-friendly language with zero jargon

💡 How SLPs are using this: Hand it over the moment a family says "I don't think this is working." Send it home after a first device trial. Leave it at an IFSP meeting. Text or email it between sessions to keep families motivated.
