AAC Evaluation Genie

Are you looking for a fast and efficient process to streamline AAC evaluations?

AAC Evaluation Genie is an informal diagnostic tool that is intended to assist speech-language pathologists and others with identifying skill areas that relate specifically to the language representation methods commonly found on augmentative communication systems. The purpose of AAC Evaluation Genie is not to identify a particular speech generating device, but rather build a framework for selecting an appropriate augmentative communication device for ongoing evaluation and / or device trial.

There are 13 subtests that can be administered with screening options available for each subtest.
