  1. AAC Policy Statement

Connectivity

Electronic AAC devices will require connection to the internet for backups and software updates. In line with internet safety policies, most educational settings' Wi-Fi connection limits which websites can be accessed on devices- often excluding AAC supplier specific sites. A working relationship with your internal IT services can help overcome this as there is often a simple solution to this problem.

Discussion point!

Are there any other considerations your team feel are important to overcome?

It can be helpful to work collaboratively and map these out during a discussion- remember there is no right or wrong- it is about identifying a path forward to achieving a good policy.
