Event Description:

This event is for active Oakland County Public School and PSA Educators only.

Do you have students with significant disabilities who have complex communication needs? Are you trying to implement AAC but are struggling with how to present core words to these students or even how to get started with symbols at all? Dr. Karen Erickson will present a systematic approach to addressing the needs of beginning communicators in classrooms. Focus will be on principles and strategies to consider across the day to support communication. A core vocabulary in multiple formats and levels of complexity to meet diverse sensory and physical needs will be described and examples will be shown.
