This session is required and specifically designed for Wayne Township Preschool staff.
This session will be led by the WTP SLPs and offer a comprehensive overview on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and how it can be used as a tool to support communication for all preschoolers in the classroom.
It will cover common AAC myths, Core and Fringe Vocabulary, prompting strategies, aided language input as well as provide training and practice with LAMP WFL and practical classroom applications. An integral piece of the PD session is to provide staff an opportunity for hands-on practice using LAMP WFL in simulated classroom experiences and conversations. The goal is to provide opportunities for staff to build familiarity and confidence using AAC in the classroom.
