Description

Join us for an interactive professional learning session focused on making communication accessible for all students. This training will highlight communication as a human right, explore the power of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and connect AAC use to the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). 

Participants will: - Learn about verbal, nonverbal, and aided forms of communication while addressing common myths about AAC.

 - Discover how AAC aligns with UDL principles to enhance engagement, representation, and expression in classrooms.

 - Engage in hands-on exploration of Tobii Dynavox devices and software with guided activities and small-group practice. 

- Take away practical strategies and resources for embedding AAC into daily routines and instruction while supporting peers, staff, and families. 

Whether you are new to AAC or looking to deepen your practice, this session will provide tools, strategies, and inspiration to create inclusive communication environments for every learner. This event is for teachers, speech & language pathologists, paraprofessionals, and more!  If you support students accessing AAC, this is the PD session for you!
