Length: 60-Minutes
This webinar will start by reviewing a few key terms and concepts such as core/fringe vocabulary, robust AAC systems, presuming competence, and functional communication. These ideas are essential in providing the most effective teaching strategies to those with complex communication needs, and will be integrated into the discussion as they apply.
Participants will learn to improve their communication partner skills and a variety of strategies that support the development of communication skills in others. Discussion will focus on communication partner skills and passive teaching techniques. These ideas will then be applied to day to day activities that can be used at home, in therapy, or at school!
As a result of this activity, participants will be able to:
-
Understand why it is important to self-reflect and make changes to be a better communication partner.
-
Learn about a variety of strategies to support communication growth in others such as, but not limited to modeling without expectation, providing active feedback, and creating an aided environment.
-
Apply these teaching strategies to, and have an opportunity to share their own ideas.
