Course: #9787Level: Advanced 1 Hour 1753 Reviews
This is Part 1 of the 5-part series, Applying the Science of Reading, Writing, and Oral Language for Students Who Use AAC. The ability to write has enormous power, especially for a student who uses augmentative/alternative communication (AAC). This course describes how students who use AAC can become authors when systematic, sequential and explicit instruction is anchored in the science of writing, and discusses the components and benefits of this type of reading/writing curriculum.
This course is presented in joint partnership with the American Board of Child Language and Language Disorders (ABCLLD).
