Host a LAMP Training

The Center for AAC & Autism is able to offer free or low-cost trainings by working with host sites that can offer space for the presentations. In return, the host site receives free training for their staff and the opportunity for three of their clients to receive a one-month AAC device loan to try the LAMP approach.
