Overview

The focus of this 2-day course will be to outline the key elements, or pillars, that are essential to AAC success and to provide strategies to support language intervention for individuals who use AAC. The pillars include core vocabulary, language acquisition, motor automaticity and communication partner support.   Language representation methods including semantic compaction, or Minspeak®, will be explored with demonstration of how Minspeak systems effectively provide core vocabulary, promote language development, and facilitate the development of motor automaticity. Hands-on learning will be provided throughout this course to enable participants to learn Minspeak as well as to implement language intervention strategies. Small group activities will be incorporated to enable participants to generate their own implementation strategies for various language stages.
