      abstract = {An average of 12% of preschoolers receiving special  education services require alternative and augmentative  communication, yet AAC interventions are rarely initiated  with toddlers early on during a critical period of early  language development. Without timely intervention, children  eligible for AAC are at risk for severe speech, language,  and communication impairments which can impact their  social-emotional, language, and literacy skills with  persisting outcomes. Individualized, family-centered  instruction can prepare caregivers to support AAC use and  language learning at home. Incorporating caregivers’  preferences and addressing the challenges of using AAC with  toddlers at home are crucial to successful uptake of early  AAC interventions. Our goal for this study is to evaluate  the acceptability of a hybrid telepractice AAC intervention  by exploring caregivers’ perspectives and experiences  regarding early intervention and AAC. Results from this  study will inform aspects of a future intervention design.},
