Course
Engaging and Reusable Lesson Plan Ideas for Teaching Language to AAC Users
Presenter
Lauren S. Enders, MA, CCC-SLP
About the Course
Is it possible to teach vocabulary and language structures in a meaningful, engaging, and effective manner without investing a lot of money or spending inordinate amounts of preparation time? Lauren S. Enders addresses this question in the present course. After a quick review of useful resources for vocabulary target selection, she develops a set of simple and versatile lesson plans for teaching AAC that require only free or inexpensive materials and can be easily reworked as target words and language structures evolve. This course is a recording of a presentation given at the AAC Bootcamp conference organized by Adler’s Voice in February 2016.
