Tennessee Association for Assistive Technology Conference: A Presenter’s Review
This year at the annual TAAT conference Vicki Haddix and I held a presentation titled, “Implementing Core Vocabulary through Shared Reading and Writing.” In our presentation we discussed how to implement core vocabulary when engaging in shared reading and writing. We defined core vocabulary for the audience and demonstrated how to model it when engaging with an AAC user. Additionally, we provided examples of materials (i.e. books, websites) that attendees could use during their own therapy sessions.
Language & Literacy
As children listen, they learn to speak. Speech helps them learn to read, which helps them read to learn. A perfect snowball, right!? Not always. Many of the students we serve have communication, cognitive and/or physical challenges that impede typical development of speech and language skills…which creates a different kind of snowball.
