Episode #177: Going Beyond The Basics of AAC with LingLy Tan and Jane Button

There is always so much people want to know about AAC. Today I talked with BCBAs, Ling Ly Tan and Jane Button. Ling Ly is the CEO of AAC software company Linggo, created to build and encourage language beyond simple requests.

As I’ve mentioned many times, keeping up with the current research is one of the largest barriers for providers in the field. AAC is one element that is always changing, and it is so necessary to be aware of the latest information. During our conversation, Ling Ly and Jane shared some of their favorite research, including from some authors I’ve talked to on the podcast.

While software for AAC does matter, Ling Ly highlights that it is a much smaller piece compared to the training to actually teach and use AAC. In fact, Linggo is working on a new training program, where they streamline the translation and application of current research into implementation with AAC with both live hands on options and self paced recordings.

Be sure to take a look at the articles and previous episodes all about the current research on AAC.
