Dear [ ],  

I am [an SLP or other] who is concerned about AAC Specialty Certification. In particular: 

I’m concerned this could make it harder for people to get AAC systems: 

• No one seems to have investigated the risks in any kind of systematic way. 
• It’s already difficult to get funding for AAC systems. What if this makes it harder? 
• Will only AAC specialists be successful in getting funding? 
• We already have a shortage of SLPs. Doesn’t this make the problem worse? 
• While we spend time debating this, we aren’t helping people who need AAC. Can’t we just get back to work helping people instead of piling on more procedures? 

Sincerely, 

[name]
