Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) doesn’t end with school. This session explores how Grid can support teens and adults as they transition into jobs, relationships and independent living. We’ll go beyond language development to highlight tools for self-advocacy, hobbies, scheduling, building and maintaining relationships, and expressing authentic, personal thoughts, whether about love, frustration, or dreams. Attendees will learn how to leverage Grid to support autonomy, identity and meaningful participation in the transition from school to adult life. They will gain practical solutions to support meaningful connection fostering autonomy and enrichment in life beyond the classroom no matter the skill or access needs of the individual.
