Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) in the Classroom: Activities to Support Implementation in Schools




Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) encompasses a wide range of low- and high-tech tools designed to support functional communication across various settings. Many educators and support staff continue to struggle with modeling AAC and are unsure of their role in implementing AAC for students who use these tools. This session goes beyond simply explaining what AAC is—it will focus on practical ways to integrate AAC into everyday academic activities. It's not just for speech-language pathologists (SLPs); this session is designed for anyone who works with individuals using AAC, providing strategies for effective modeling and communication with this unique population using diverse AAC tools to support progress related to reading, writing, math, and science. Attendees will participate in hands on activities and navigate low-tech communication tools to complete tasks that can be used in academic settings.
