AAC in the Classroom (D) - ONLINE 17th May 24, 14th June 24
How can we prioritise communication without losing our focus on
curriculum needs?
What can teaching staff do to embed the use of AAC into the learning environment?
This course provides an overview of ways in which we can best
support our AAC users in the classroom. We will explore the principles of a
total communication environment and promote ways in which we can facilitate use
of an AAC system – paper-based or electronic – for functional communication.
Our AAC in the Classroom full day training is available to schools as part of teacher INSET, but can also be provided as 2 online teacher supported webinars. This course provides strategies for teaching staff to support the implementation of AAC systems throughout the school day.
