- the need for parental involvement in AAC decision making
- the need for parental training in AAC
- The positive effects training has for parents
What it is not discussing is the online component I want to venture into. I have a lot more research to do this week to search deeper. I found ONE article on '"remote instruction" for AAC that has potential. I looked through their works cited and it either doesn't apply or I have the article already. My search continues...
Kristy, it sounds like you are off to a great start so far. Don't feel like your search/literature HAS to include AAC. Try looking at any type of therapy/home interventions where the parents would need to be involved. Don't limit yourself!! You might just need to broaden your search a bit. How you map our your literature will depend on what you can find with your broadened search. You can look at traditional trainings/interventions on one side and online/electronic on the other side. They don't have to be balanced, but you would need more than one article. If that doesn't pan out, then you could look at involvement on one side and trainings on the other. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteKristy have you tried looking under helpers with AAC including teachers, aids and other people. You can still relate this information similarly to parents as parents fall into these categories for they still teach their child, they are an aid to you in developing vocabulary. Just a thought, though I may be totally off base, its kind of what I did, tried to find things that though not specifically related to my topic, I could still use to get my point across. :)
