App Profile: AAC Evaluation Genie

Are you looking for a fast and efficient process to streamline AAC evaluations?

AAC Evaluation Genie is a powerful and intuitive app designed specifically for speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, special educators, and assistive technology specialists. Developed by a certified speech-language pathologist, this innovative tool transforms the way professionals assess and evaluate augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) needs.

AAC Evaluation Genie is a clinical tool intended to assist professionals in identifying skill areas related to language representation methods commonly found on augmentative communication systems. The purpose of AAC Evaluation Genie is not to identify a particular speech-generating device, but to build a framework for selecting an appropriate augmentative communication system for ongoing evaluation and/or device trial.
