Description:

Preschool is one of the first school experiences for some of our young Augmentative and Alternative Communication ( AAC ) learners. Knowing how to best support and serve our early learners with complex communication needs can be an overwhelming task in the classroom – especially when starting from scratch! Whether you are new to AAC, the preschool population or are seeking novel, innovative ideas, this course will cover all of the above. 

Speakers:

Mary Katherine Dally, M.S., CCC-SLP, ATP

Learning Outcomes:

Describe and understand five ways to build AAC capacity in the preschool setting or with a preschool age client focusing on myths and research, vocabulary selection, language approaches, assessment and goal writing ideas. 

Design at least three innovative, child-led communication opportunities within the preschool classroom throughout the school day. 

Apply tools and strategies for carryover and training when working with preschool families and caregivers.
