The thought of Implementing Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) can be a little scary for all communication partners including SLPs, teachers, paraprofessionals and parents. With a user friendly approach, this presentation will provide a basic understanding of how to get started with AAC.  The importance of bringing a sense of joy to communication, making it meaningful, strategic use of core and fringe vocabulary, and  modeling language will be discussed and explored at length. After completing this session participants will have a better understanding of how to use AAC (both high and low tech) as a tool for authentic communication.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. give a working definition of core and fringe vocabulary
  2. give two examples of meaningful therapy activities incorporating core vocabulary and student interests.
  3. give a reason why modeling AAC to teach AAC is important.
