In honor of AAC Awareness Month 2024, we're asking (and answering) the question: "What's in your AAC toolbox?" 🛠 The tools and strategies found within the Pyramid Approach to Education and the PECS protocol can be used to help learners succeed using many different AAC modalities! This month we'll be sharing examples of success with low-tech and high-tech options from learners with a range of skills and experience. When evidence-based strategies are used, the outcomes we see are more meaningful and lasting. Our goal is to help those who use alternative and augmentative communication be successful and as independent as possible in their homes, schools, places of work, and communities. And our toolbox is full of helpful, time-tested, and proven ways to do that! To check out some of our useful AAC tools visit pecs-canada.com today and stay tuned as we celebrate and share AAC success stories, strategies, and resources throughout the month! #AAC #speechgeneratingdevice #pictureexchangecommunicationsystem #AACawarenessMonth #AACawareness2024 #AACPECS #AACPECS24 #PECSglobal #Whatsinyourtoolbox #AACtools #aacstrategies

Come see us next week in Pittsburgh! Teachers have high expectations and want each student to be successful. This success requires planning beyond the content. This interactive session will share eight areas of executive function (EF). Participants will learn what each EF skill might look like in the classroom, and then they will be invited to reflect and identify how these EF skills currently or might look in their own classrooms. #GCCE #NCEA2024 #WeServeCatholicSchools #ExecutiveFunction

What changes if we associate Tier 1 with words like Proactive or Preventative instead of intervention? Embracing the idea that Tier 1 is for everybody by everybody invites teachers and administrators to look more closely at indicators that Tier 1 may need some changes to be more preventive and proactive. Read my most most recent Talk-OH-Tuesday Blog on how to use Scaffolding, Differentiation, Individualized Learning, Accommodations, and a consistent PBIS implementation to maximize Tier 1 for all students. https://lnkd.in/gB_GEzhH #MTSS #TIER1 #PBIS

💡 The three essential pillars of AAC implementation💡 1️⃣ Adaptability: The AAC system must evolve as the person’s language and communication skills develop. 2️⃣ Empowerment: Independence is the ultimate goal—we want individuals to use AAC confidently on their own. 3️⃣ Integration: The AAC system must fit seamlessly into the individual’s environment, enabling effective communication with family, friends, and peers. As professionals in the field, it’s vital that our AAC systems are not static but dynamic, adapting to the individual's unique path. ❓How do you ensure your AAC interventions grow with your learners? 🔄 Let’s exchange strategies and insights below! #AACawareness #SLP #BCBA #AAC #SpeechLanguagePathology #ProfessionalDevelopment #Linggo #AutismSupport #AphasiaSupport #UnlockCommunication #CaregiverSupport #EmpowerCommunication
