People who use communication devices must juggle multiple balls – WHO to talk to, WHEN to initiate, WHAT to say, and WHERE to find the language on their devices.  Typically, instruction emphasizes primarily where to find language, resulting in poor generalization and limited initiation.  This session will support students in learning to generalize the use of core language by supporting the following steps:
• Rehearse (WHERE to find language)  
• Practice (adding WHAT to say)
• Model (adding WHO to talk to)
• Go (generalizing, using devices in multiple settings, and considering all elements)   

This overview workshop will share creative, interactive, and FUN ideas for each step.

Learning Outcomes:

1)    Participants will summarize the Rehearse/ Practice/ Model -GO framework to teach and generalize language skills.

2)    Participants will review at least three key apps including multiple applications of each to support language.

3)    Participants will describe at least two interactive tasks for each of the four stages of generalization.
