Road Map to Success

In the first version of this guide this section was described as “barriers”, as they considered possible road blocks which could have an impact upon implementing a successful AAC policy.

However, several of the educational settings we worked with felt that by rephrasing this as a Road Map to Success paved the way for change and identification of required next steps. Each of the settings created a road map in collaboration with the whole AAC team. An open discussion helped them to identify barriers and ways to overcome them.

Discussion point!

How can we ensure we put a positive light on the issues faced?

Educational settings creating an AAC policy decided to look for opportunities rather than ways to overcome barriers. Reflect with your team on the AAC provision you provide to identify key considerations that lead to successful AAC implementation and highlight good practice already in place.
