More to Say: Helping Communicators Go Beyond Requesting

Description

Life would be boring if you only communicated to express wants and needs. There are a variety of reasons to use language, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) users have the right to use them all. In this course, you’ll explore communicative functions, ways to expand vocabulary for AAC users, and tools to help identify where to start. You’ll learn practical implementation strategies and communication partner strategies to support communication growth.

Learning Objectives:

Describe two other functions of communication beyond requesting

Describe one benefit and one barrier to requesting as a communication function

Identify four techniques to support implementation of new communication skills
