Workshop Registration Details

This interactive workshop is designed to equip educators and support staff with effective strategies to teach and support communication for students with disabilities. Participants will explore the foundations of communication development, with a focus on meeting the diverse needs of students who may be nonverbal, minimally verbal, or have complex communication needs. Key topics include: understanding the communication needs of students with various disabilities, introduction to Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC), including low-tech and high-tech options, creating inclusive environments that promote communication, collaborating with speech-language pathologists and families, integrating AAC into daily instruction and routines, and teaching functional communication and supporting self-advocacy. Participants will leave with practical tools and resources to foster meaningful communication and promote student engagement, independence, and participation across settings.
