FAQ
Tech Talkers™ Parent Training is a group training program designed for parents and carers of children and adults who use augmentative and alternative forms of communication (AAC)
Tech Talkers™ Parent Training is comprised of eight sessions, starting with an assessment session, six two-hour small group sessions and a one hour individual progress check midway through the program.
Each session is generally 1-2 hours in length and hosted at a Rocky Bay hub. The group sessions are not suitable for children to attend. You are welcome to bring up to 2 parents/carers from your child’s life to learn the skills and build consistency in your care.
You can use your NDIS funds for this workshop if you, or the person you care for has the item ‘Training for Carers’ in their NDIS plan. If you are already accessing Block Funds through Rocky Bay, these funds can be used for the workshop. This training offers 13.5 hours of intervention for only 7.8 NDIS Therapy Plan hours from the Capacity Building budget.
