Description:

While the selection of the “best fit” AAC solutions for an individual can be taxing, long-term planning for the AAC user’s goals and development can be even more extensive and overwhelming. Device programming, intervention strategies, goal writing and progress monitoring are essential elements to the provision of effective communication support for AAC users in their immediate and future language development and use. This course will discuss the importance of presuming competence in an individual’s ability to learn, selecting vocabulary and linguistic targets, teaching in the natural environment, using a total communication approach and goal writing. 

Speakers:

Lindsey Paden Cargill, MA, CCC-SLP

Mark Street

List four common vocabulary teaching errors.
