    Awe and Wonder Podcast AAC & AT S5 E9 Vision: Krista Wilkinson

    Dr. Krista Wilkinson published an article on evidence-based approach to AAC design for individuals with cortical visual impairment (CVI) based on the experience of Emma, a young woman with CVI. In this episode Krista explains the three pillars of an evidence-based practice approach (service providers, researchers, and families/clients) and describes three domains that are important considerations for AAC users with CVI: skills brought by the individual, responsibilities of the communication partner, and design choices for the AAC system.   Resource Article- An evidence-based approach to augmentative and alternative communication design for individuals with cortical visual impairment: https://pubs.asha.org/doi/full/10.1044/2023_AJSLP-22-00397

    Awe and Wonder Podcast AAC & AT S5 E5 Vision: Marci Revelli

    Marci Revelli is a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) who has completed numerous AAC evaluations for kids with complex needs including vision. In this episode she talks about questions SLPs can ask families that give clues about the student's vision and shares stories of AAC evaluations with students who have low vision or CVI.

    Awe and Wonder Podcast AAC & AT S5 E4 Vision: Ting Siu

    Ting is a Teacher of Blind and Low Vision Students (TVI) and coordinates the Northwest Center for Assistive Technology Training (CATT-NW) at the WA State School for the Blind (WSSB). In this episode Ting cautions about the ableist perspective of prioritizing vision with students and instead asking ourselves what the student can still do with their sensory access. Ting also stresses the importance of introducing technology- any tools or systems that help people access and engage with information better- as soon as students are seeking and needing access to their environment.
