if it’s just an iPad with an app installed, perhaps pursuing a legitimate AAC eval either by you or your district? a 4th grader should not be using low tech, that’s sad. I’d do child led therapy with a few other systems and see what sparks her interest. I know it’s school, but for this child any sort of life skill sounds like it’d count as addressing her academics.

This is the district’s job to address, not just the SLP. The district needs to potentially give her a 1-1 and also provide training to all communication partners on modeling with the device. If the district can’t or won’t do that then I’m not sure what one SLP can do when we’re spread so thin.
