Upon completion of the Clinical Bite, participants will be able to:

• Describe foundational principles of symbol-based AAC when supporting children with developmental disabilities.
• Identify key considerations for selecting and implementing symbol-based AAC systems within everyday clinical practice. 
• Apply practical AAC intervention strategies, including effective support for communication partners, to promote meaningful communication.

Registrants must be speech pathologists or speech pathology students who have undertaken relevant lectures, coursework, or clinical placements. It is an introductory session, designed for participants who are new to the topic or have limited prior knowledge. This level focuses on foundational concepts, key terminology, and basic practical applications to build initial understanding and confidence.
