Topic 3: Support Partents to Use AAC
Integrated services extend beyond the classroom and into the home. Supporting parents to use AAC and core vocabulary helps create consistency across environments. Families benefit from simple, practical guidance on how to model during everyday routines such as meals, play, or getting ready for school.
Supporting families ensures that natural communication and device use continue to occur across all daily activities and routines – improving connection and communication, language development, social skills, and self-determination.
