The in-depth description about examining literacy in AAC.

December 31, 2025
The instructor is very knowlegeable on her topic, but is not a great teacher of the topic. She presented the information as open conversation without clear layout designed for education or referencing. There was not a 'flow' in a more outlined form of providing basic info, talking points, or laying the basis of knowledge for us to build from. Testing questions should have been taught clearly with more simple language. I was not able to take any notes or follow her thoughts

I am not sure how to support literacy, reading, etc with AAC. This course gave a lot of great background into the research. I do feel lost though moving forward and would love more insight into practical application. However, I now know what I am looking for.

I appreciate the contrast applied to the word-wall versus the sound wall. The information provided a framework on how to use and apply sound wall. I gain a greater understanding of how phonics is applied not only for decoding and also for aiding in developing literacy skills.

The information in this course aligned nicely with what I've learned in my OLLA training this past year regarding the science of reading and Scarborough's reading rope. I believe I have a decent grasp on these concepts and how I can apply them to my speech sessions. I appreciate that this course connected this information with AAC users. I was hoping to see more examples and information for younger and developmentally lower students. Otherwise it was all good information.

It was interesting to learn about the research behind how and why we should teach the simple view of reading and the reading rope strategies. The school I am working at just changed to sound walls this year and it was has been interesting to see the impact vs. using word walls. I especially enjoyed the instruction on decoding and breaking stories down to fit student's needs. The examples at the end of this presentation were helpful in integrating AAC.

I work in a district that is very much utilizing the Science of Reading and ALL employees are being trained. I do feel like we are missing out on the literacy in AAC part so this course has motivated me to look more at how we can teach literacy to students using AAC as I feel we are lacking in that area. I look forward to sharing this information with our reading specialist.
