We need to examine the distinctions between monolingual and bilingual language development, debunk common myths surrounding bilingual AAC use, and clarify the difference between language translation and true language systems.

Cindy Halloran, Director, Center for AAC & Autism

Debbie Witkowski, Training & Implementation Specialist, PRC-Saltillo.

List 2 bilingual Minspeak options.

Discuss the role of motor planning in a bilingual AAC system.
