MontCOMM ’25: Our 7th Annual Conference Focused Solely on AAC
MontCOMM means yearly access to national and international experts in AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). It means quality training in Montana’s own back yard to help therapists, teachers, paraeducators, direct support professionals, and family members build their capacity to support people of all ages with communication challenges.
“The goal is not to create an echo, but to hear an authentic voice.” Rachael Langley, MA, CCC-SLP
Our Speaker for MontCOMM ’25:
Rachael Langley (MA, CCC-SLP) loves “words and clean design.” A practicing SLP since 2002, Rachael is a frequent guest lecturer in Michigan, an educational coach and consultant working to improve evaluation and implementation of alternative communication, conference founder, and frequent presenter at national professional-development events.
Rachael’s presentations often address barriers to successfully implementing AAC, the role of prompting and need for prompt awareness, and supporting meaningful communication in the classroom. She also designs materials to support the realization of meaningful AAC.
The goal? Authentic communication. And it IS in our reach. Save August 15th to learn how with Rachael.
