Description:

We learn language by having language modeled. Aided Language Stimulation (ALS) is an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in the field of AAC, and it is often one of the first strategies suggested when beginning AAC with individuals with Complex Communication Needs. In this 90-minute webinar, we will learn why modeling symbolic communication is so vital to AAC users and why it is so hard to implement, We will also learn simple techniques to teach communication partners how to implement ALS into their everyday routines and curricula in the home, community, and school environments.
