Abstract

Speech-language pathologists are skilled at teaching and scaffolding langauge skills. Join this discussion and explore how to embed AAC as a tool not only to support expressive communicaiton, but as a dynamic tool for teaching receptive langauge, word meaning, grammatical language, sentence complexity, and more.

This session will demonstrate how AAC provides a visual thinking tool for learners with various language learning needs – from early communicators to those working on more sophisticated language concepts. Rather than creating materials ahead of time, we will talk about how SLPs can use features within Proloquo to adapt a lesson on the spot.

Ditch the therapy script and join this dynamic session and think about AAC in a whole new way!
