Overview

course-thumbnailDescription:  

How the Stories and Strategies: A Language Development Model for AAC incorporates language decontextualization for use in multiple activities will be discussed. Story expansions will be discussed as an important step in the development of personal narratives. Through the process of story expansion activities personal narratives evolve that enable individuals using AAC to express themselves as individuals; engage in conversations; become more social and active members of society; and, have a way of addressing issues that may be in their best interest. A short question and answer session will end this presentation to assess learner objectives.
