Research Study Description

I am looking to connect with caregivers (18 years or older) of individuals (of any age) who were recommended AAC, whether they chose to use it or not. I am particularly interested in the perspectives of caregivers who began using AAC with the individual in their care but then stopped and the perspectives of caregivers who declined the implementation of AAC when it was suggested.

Consenting participants will participate in a 5-7 minute questionnaire to understand their views and experiences regarding the person they care for’s AAC use. The questionnaire is available in both English and Spanish. Optional Zoom interviews will be conducted with caregivers who want to have more in-depth conversations regarding AAC use.

 

Thank you for your time and support!
