“A wealth of evidence-based, yet highly practical strategies for promoting the social inclusion and academic achievement of students who require AAC.
A better professional resource could not be found.” —Jeff Sigafoos, Ph.D., Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
 
A must-have guide for educators and SLPs who provide communication support, this book answers pressing questions about working with students who use AAC and helps teachers skillfully meet student needs while satisfying the demands of their curriculum.
Pre-service and in-service educators and the SLPs who work with them will learn to:
  • collaborate effectively to improve outcomes for students who use AAC
  • determine student needs through effective, ongoing reading, writing, and language assessments
  • develop IEPs based on each child’s language, communication, and literacy goals
  • help students move beyond emergent literacy and develop the skills research identifies as the keys to reading success
  • support students’ successful use of various AAC technologies, such as communication boards, word prediction software, and speech generating devices
 
Balancing practical strategies with up-to-date research, this book unlocks language and literacy skills for children who use AAC and lays the groundwork for long-term school and social success.
