WHAT IS AAC?▪ AAC= Augmentative and Alternative Communication

Basic Vocabulary
Core Word
Fringe VS Core Vocabulary
Small # of words
Used about 80% of the time in daily communication
Applicable to most topics and environments
High frequency of use
Can demonstrate larger variety of communicative functions
What is Core Vocabulary?
Allows for more communicative opportunities
Potential for expanding utterance length
Consistency of symbol location
Examples include: GO, STOP, THAT, WANT, COME, UP, AGAIN, MORE, ALL DONE, I, HELP
Core Word.Assistiveware.com
What is Fringe Vocabulary ?
Large # of words
Used about 20% of the time in daily communication
limited environments and topics
Low frequency of use
Can demonstrate fewer communicative functions
Less potential for expanding utterance length
Random/changing locations or multiple pages to search
Examples include: nouns (TURTLE, CRACKER), topic specific vocabulary (WETLANDS, DESERT)
Why use Core more than Fringe?When you teach more core words first, students are able to get their needs met quicker.
These words can be used across all settings to include reading and writing.
Fringe words can be taught in addition to core words to help the student learn specific vocabulary and to expand their communication.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!When teaching vocabulary best practice is to keep the
icons in the same location. (Especially your core words). Student learn to navigate their device based on motor memory rather than remembering the exact icon.
Think of keyboarding...We learn to keyboard by memorizing where the letters are on the keyboard. It becomes a motor pattern that we do without thinking about which key we are hitting.
Examples of what Core can look like
Take a Break!
Model-ER
Shared Literacy
Shared literacy and AAC:Old Method
• What we know:
• Dominated by the adult
• Less collaborative• Child is more
passive
Shared Reading
• What we know
• Interactive experience• Adults become active facilitators
and listeners during reading• Prompts and sequence that
fosters interaction• Child becomes the storyteller
What it Looks Like
ModelER for Reading and Talking
Model
Encourage
Respond
Model using AAC
Encourage by providing wait time (5 seconds or longer)
Respond by repeating part of what the child said and expand on it with AAC modeling
Child Communication Turn
What do you need?
-Books
-AAC Vocabulary Display
-either high tech or low tech
-communication partner
Model (reading and talking)
modeling communication with the AAC
• Read text and provide AAC model; pause
• Model the use of AAC as you play and talk with your child
• “think out loud” when you are using the device
• By modeling, we demonstrate how to use the system, how to say specific words, and how to put words and word parts together.
• Don’t be afraid to make a mistake!
• It’s good for your child to see you make mistakes too!
ModelER
ENCOURAGE: Attributing meaning
• Pause and Wait for your child to communicate
• Clearly marks the opportunity for your child to communicate
• Clearly indicates that your child is expected to communicate
• Provides additional time for your child to understand what is said
• Provides additional time for your child to formulate a message
ModelER
RESPOND
• Repeat part of what the child said
• Expand on child’s words using AAC modeling
• Ask a variety of types of questions
• Comment on the child’s words
ModelER
Types of Boards• Apps: Proloquo 2 Go, Go Talk
• Boardmaker• Low tech• Adapted Books
Other Resources:• Tarheel Reader• Tumblebooks
