The development of behavioural descriptors for Australian speech pathologists working in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)

Participants will be guided through the methodology used to develop the behavioural descriptors and will hear key findings from the project, including feedback from speech pathologists on what constitutes competent AAC practice in Australia.
