In the first phase of Your Core Mission you learned about the power of core vocabulary. So how is core vocabulary organized in AAC? Your second core mission is to learn how core vocabulary is represented in two robust AAC vocabulary systems from PRC-Saltillo. Through videos, hands-on demonstration, and interactive exploration we’ll develop an understanding of the features of LAMP WFL and WordPower.

Continue your mission towards supporting meaningful communication with core vocabulary!  This is Phase 2 in a 3-part series for Your Core Mission.

Devices are optional, but if you have an Accent, NovaChat, Via with TouchChat or Via with LAMP Words for Life, or iPad with TouchChat or LAMP Words for Life app to follow along, it is encouraged.
