Understanding and Nurturing the Communicative Competence in Young Learners with Significant Disabilities





Come and learn about communication assessment and instruction for young learners with multiple disabilities who are non-verbal. Explore instruction, practical exercises, and case studies to demonstrate the strategies being described.  Gain insight on how to encourage children with significant disabilities including children with vision and hearing loss, to demonstrate and further develop their ability and desire to communicate. Specifically this workshop will include understanding how to use the Communication Matrix (Rowland 2004) assessment, research based instructional strategies for the child at the pre-symbolic level of communication, and instructional strategies for the child who may be ready for communication through Tangible Symbol Systems such as pictures, photos and/or 3 dimensional symbols but is not yet able to use abstract symbols.
