Even with the many AAC resources out there, the pathway for those with complex communication needs is not always clear cut.
We all want our clients who use AAC to make that leap to becoming proficient communicators. Understanding more about how they learn is one way to help them progress, and that’s what this episode is about. It covers:
• Core and fringe vocabular
• Stages of motor learning
• Meeting sensory and language needs simultaneously
• Descriptive teaching
By the way— descriptive teaching is awesome—even if you don’t have clients who use AAC!
