This class will benefit anyone working with a child using WordPower on a Saltillo AAC solution (e.g., TouchChat, NovaChat, Chat Fusion). It will provide the opportunity for one or more people from the team to work together to learn and brainstorm ideas to move beyond requesting.

This class will infuse learning into hands-on activities with the AAC system. Topics covered will include: core vocabulary, modeling without expectation, WordPower organization and software features to support early literacy and classroom participation. Participants will explore and learn how to use Saltillo’s implementation tools and resources to help maximize success. Topics will include case-study examples and discussion about how to apply the information to individual children/students. Examples of activities include: modeling while reading a book, creating an “Early Book” page to support literacy, using button capture to create quick materials, and saving pictures and sentences for early writing. Fun will be had by all.
