This will include increased use of asynchronous content in the program including video models of specific strategies and interventions, creation of even more robust home programs, and a platform for access to parent education videos on equipment use and troubleshooting. We also project using the telehealth platform to provide synchro- nous follow-up appointments to all families who participate in the program, whether in the home or remote clinic settings, to improve home carryover and care coordination with other pro- viders on the AAC user’s interdisciplinary team.
