What is an AAC SLP?

An AAC SLP (Augmentative and Alternative Communication Speech-Language Pathologist) specializes in helping individuals with speech or language impairments communicate effectively using AAC tools. These tools can include low-tech options like picture boards or high-tech speech-generating devices. AAC SLPs assess communication needs, recommend appropriate AAC systems, train individuals and caregivers, and provide ongoing support to improve communication skills. Their work is essential for individuals with conditions like autism, cerebral palsy, or ALS who have difficulty with verbal speech.

What are the typical daily duties of an AAC SLP in clinical or school-based settings?

As an AAC SLP, your daily responsibilities often include assessing clients' communication needs, recommending appropriate AAC systems or devices, and providing direct therapy to develop effective communication strategies. You will also collaborate closely with families, educators, occupational therapists, and other professionals to ensure cohesive support for each client. Documentation, training sessions for device users and caregivers, and adapting therapy plans based on individual progress are also common parts of the role. This dynamic work environment allows for meaningful interaction and ongoing learning as you help clients overcome complex communication challenges.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an AAC SLP, and why are they important?

To thrive as an AAC SLP (Augmentative and Alternative Communication Speech-Language Pathologist), you need a master's degree in speech-language pathology, licensure, and expertise in evaluating and treating communication disorders using AAC strategies. Technical proficiency with communication devices, AAC software, and assessment tools is crucial, and certification in AAC or assistive technology is often preferred. Outstanding interpersonal, problem-solving, and collaboration skills help you work effectively with clients, families, and multidisciplinary teams. These capabilities enable AAC SLPs to develop successful, personalized communication solutions that significantly improve clients' quality of life.

About the Position
We are seeking an experienced Speech-Language Pathologist to provide individualized speech-language services for a 21-year-old young adult with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Moderate Intellectual Disability, and complex communication needs.
This position is designed to continue the communication, AAC, and functional language goals he developed through his school transition program as he enters adult services. Services may be provided in the family's home, at the Santa Cruz Training Center, or a combination of both, depending on provider preference and scheduling.
About The ClientHe is an engaging, social young man who enjoys meeting people, talking about sports, animals, music, and his family. He communicates verbally using single words and short phrases, but his speech can be difficult for unfamiliar listeners to understand.

  • Consistent routines
  • Extra processing time (10-15 seconds)
  • One-step directions
  • Positive reinforcement
  • Patient communication partners who model and encourage AAC use across natural environments.

  • Increase intelligibility of verbal speech while encouraging multimodal communication.
  • Develop communication strategies that improve independence during daily living activities.
  • Improve conversational skills, including initiating conversations, responding appropriately, asking questions, and maintaining social interactions.
  • Support cognitive-communication skills, including attention, memory, executive functioning, problem-solving, and processing speed as they relate to communication.
  • Teach functional communication routines used during community outings, day program activities, volunteering, and future employment opportunities.
  • Collaborate with family members and Santa Cruz Training Center staff to ensure communication strategies are consistently implemented throughout the day.
  • Provide caregiver coaching and training to promote carryover outside of therapy sessions.
  • Modify and update AAC vocabulary to reflect his daily routines, interests, and communication needs.
  • Document progress and provide recommendations for ongoing services.

Desired Experience
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Moderate or Severe Intellectual Disabilities
  • AAC systems (TouchChat experience preferred)
  • Cognitive-communication disorders
  • Adult transition-aged individuals (18-26)
  • Functional communication
  • Community-based therapy
  • Neurogenic communication disorders
  • Motor speech disorders
  • Social communication disorders

Experience collaborating with occupational therapists, physical therapists, behavioral staff, families, and adult day programs is highly preferred.
Qualifications
  • Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology
  • Current Arizona SLP license
  • ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) preferred
