Ongoing Training and Development
The creation of an AAC policy and the identification of skills required should lead to an educational setting specifying training needs. As illustrated within the Knowledge and Skills section, the team creating the policy should consider what aspects of AAC need to be delivered within their setting and use that information to plan and implement training.
The tiered approach helps to identify what skills are required by all staff and therefore should be included at induction or whole school level. It also supplies the information that is needed as a targeted provision that will only be required by some staff.
Discussion point!

Take the time to review your road map and use this as a discussion point to identify training needs.
