Next Steps for AAC

This page contains my second set of short videos about AAC. These videos are intended primarily for teachers and SLPs, but can also be useful for interested instructional aides, parents, etc. Each video is approximately ten minutes in length. I have the free version of Screencastify, so fair warning, these videos have not been edited and I do make mistakes sometimes!

Teaching New AAC Learners: Two Possible* Approaches for SGDs

*Notes about things I didn't say in the video: These are not the ONLY two possible approaches, just two ways of teaching vocabulary that I have found to be effective! Also, all AAC learners need at least some time to babble (see for example, this article) and all learners will need updates and new additions to their vocabulary as they go.
