I have a set of resources for AAC; including communication boards and books, curriculum and speech therapy materials to teach use of AAC, as well as an on-line course for parents and other communication partners to learn to teach AAC to their child/student.  

You will learn how to teach students to use AAC effectively with resources that provide the communication system, contextualized and decontextualized communication experiences, and strategies and templates to make your communication opportunities valuable.

So if you're serious about how to teach you emergent communicator to learn to communicate effectively, then give my course a try.

The coolest feeling is when you see your student(s) communicating something they really want to say to you - by themselves! AND, the knowledge that you have provided a students with a way to communicate effectively is the most amazing feeling you can have.  So, take a look at this.

My course will provide you with a system to use if you don't already have one, as well as the resources to get started with Evidence Based Practices for implementing AAC.
