AAC Language Modeling

The Accessible Technology Coalition (ATC) supports the use of technology to promote independent living for people with disabilities, providing information via online resources, and engaging in advocacy work to support policies that expand access to technology for people with disabilities.

Karen Sheehan, Director Accessible Technology Coalition

Students who use AAC face a two-pronged challenge: learning aided language while also learning content. Traditionally aided language was taught through direct instruction during designated sessions. However, a much more effective approach is to immerse students in Language Modeling. This approach goes by many names (Aided Language Stimulation, Aided Language Input, Partner-Augmented Input, etc.), but boils down to a simple concept: Speak to students using aided language to teach them aided language. Learn about building core language through language modeling, and how to leverage core language to learn content through Descriptive Teaching. 
This webinar is for anyone who works with students (school-aged and transition).
This Webinar is presented by Jennifer McDonald-Peltier, MS, ATP. Jennifer is an Assistive Technology Specialist at the Center for Accessible Technology in Berkeley, CA. She works with school districts across the bay area, provides training for students studying AT and supports seniors to age in place.
