Course
Partner Assisted Scanning – Introduction and Basic Implementation
Presenter
Bethany Stanley, MS, CCC-SLP
About the Course
This course offers an in-depth look into the principles of Partner Assisted Scanning (PAS). Bethany Stanley shows how to introduce students with different communicative and cognitive skills to the use of PAS and how to best match the available access methods with the individual student. She explores functional ideas for using PAS in the classroom, focusing on ways to allow students with complex communication needs to more fully participate in the classroom framework. She also touches on scaffolding methods for increasing student independence in using PAS and for moving towards a scanning speech generating device. This course is a recording of a presentation given at the AAC Bootcamp conference organized by Adler’s Voice in February 2016.
