AAC Implementation Toolkit

 

I work with aides who have little to no experience with using and implementing an AAC. I bought this product to help teach them. It is a great comprehensive resource that walks you through step by step.

In her words... 

 

One of the most important parts of AAC implementation is making sure that the entire team (family members, staff) is consistently using simple but effective AAC strategies such as consistent AAC access, modeling, and core vocabulary. This resource will help you educate others about four foundational, research-based, strategies (or "best practices") for implementing and teaching AAC.
This resource includes five sections as follows:

1. AAC Basics: Get familiar with AAC, what it is, the different types, and who uses it.
2. Access: Make sure the system is out and available at all times.
3. Modeling: Consistently model using the system.
4. Core Vocabulary: Focus on core vocabulary and keywords.

This resource is so comprehensive and helpful. I definitely encourage you to take a look if you have anyone on your caseload that uses an AAC. :)

Thank you, Speechy Musings for making such a wonderful product!!
