An AAC user is transitioning from a pediatric to an adult healthcare system. Which transition planning action is MOST important for maintaining AAC access?
Answer: Providing adult providers with a comprehensive AAC profile and communication passport
A communication passport and AAC profile ensure continuity of care and communication access during healthcare transitions.
Which accommodation BEST supports an AAC user participating in a standardized assessment?
Answer: Allow the individual to respond using their AAC system with extended time
Allowing AAC-based responses with extended time preserves test validity while ensuring equitable access for the user.
An SLP is working with a family who communicates primarily in Spanish at home. The MOST appropriate approach for vocabulary selection on the AAC device is to:
Answer: Include both Spanish and English vocabulary to reflect the bilingual environment
Bilingual AAC users deserve devices that support all languages used in their daily communication environments.
A telehealth AAC session reveals that a caregiver is using hand-over-hand prompting to force the child to select symbols. The clinician should FIRST:
Answer: Educate the caregiver about less directive, more naturalistic prompting strategies
Education about naturalistic, less directive prompting strategies supports both communication development and the user's autonomy.
Which ethical obligation requires AAC practitioners to stay current with evolving device technology and communication strategies?
Answer: Competence
Competence requires ongoing professional development to ensure practitioners provide effective, evidence-based AAC services.
A hospital patient is intubated and cannot speak. The AAC team is not involved. Who has the MOST ethical responsibility to initiate an AAC consultation?
Answer: The bedside nurse or physician caring for the patient
Bedside clinicians who identify a communication barrier have an ethical responsibility to initiate an AAC consultation on the patient's behalf.
When an AAC team identifies that a client's current device no longer meets their communication needs, the MOST appropriate action is to:
Answer: Conduct a reassessment and explore updated or alternative AAC options
AAC is an ongoing process; reassessment ensures the system continues to match the user's evolving communication needs.
