Step 3: Complete Two Self-Study Courses
The TalkPath Therapy and AAC Device Trial self-study courses are an excellent opportunity to put what you learned in the preceding courses into practice. They can be completed individually or at the same time.
Note: Each course requires you to report the time you’ve spent on separate downloadable logs that are featured below.
TalkPath Therapy Self-Study
This course requires you to use TalkPath Therapy and TalkPath News, set up programs for clients, review articles, and a course evaluation, while logging a total of 7 hours of work.
To start, schedule a 30-minute meeting with Lingraphica’s clinical program manager.
You can download the course log here, and when finished, complete the course here.

AAC Device Trial Self-Study
This course requires you to identify a client who would make a good candidate for a Lingraphica AAC device trial and subsequently conduct the trial alongside a Lingraphica Clinical Consultant. Note that you can submit a benefit check at any time during your LCP onboarding. Lastly, this course will require you to log between 8 and 24 hours.
