Building Capacity for Bilingual Augmentative and Alternative Communication: Insights From Professional Learning Community Participants
The findings suggest that participation in a collaborative and reflective PLC can facilitate professional development, improved AAC service delivery, and increased family and student engagement in bilingual AAC. Although the study does not claim direct causation, participants perceived meaningful changes linked to their PLC involvement. Future research should explore the scalability of PLCs in AAC and their long-term impact on service provision and client outcomes.
