I hope I'm not making a huge mistake by posting here, but we are beginning our search to try to find assistance over the summer for our daughter, who is an AAC-user (she uses a PRC Accent 1400 eyegaze system with Unity). She usually goes to camp in the summertime but because of conditions this year, we are looking for a student to pay a weekly salary to spend time with her in our home, potentially from June until September and perhaps afterward. You can look on this as babysitting, or as an intense practicum in AAC and assisted communication. We live in Washington DC. Perhaps you can steer us toward some resources for hunting suitable candidates? Thanks.
