Reimagining AAC: A Tool Based Approach to Meaningful Communication
This workshop reframes AAC as a continuum of tools that support communication across routines, environments, and stages of development. Participants will explore how gestures, subtle cues, core boards, switches, robust systems, and partner strategies work together to create a flexible communication toolbox. We'll examine how shifting from a device‑focused mindset to a tool‑focused approach reduces pressure, increases access, and supports joyful interactions. Attendees will learn to identify AAC tools across the continuum, support communication in natural contexts, model language authentically, build confidence through low‑pressure opportunities, and create environments where AAC users have multiple ways to express themselves.
Writing Real Goals and Collaborative Lesson Plans for Switch Users
This session will review some basics of teaching switch skills to students and then we will do deep dive into collaborative goal writing. You will learn what is recommended when writing collaborative goal from a joint paper from our professional organizations (AOTA, APTA, and ASHA). Real life samples of collaborative goals will be discussed and shared as a resource. Finally, in this session you will be provided with samples of daily switch planning guides and learn how to implement these as part of a student's daily routines.
Four Tools That Help Your Student's Get 100's of Swith Hit's a Day
In this session you will learn about four different switch activities that you can utilize to create opportunities for you switch users to get 100's of switch hits a day. These activities are designed with engagement and participation in academics, play, and leisure in both general education and special education settings. Having opportunities to develop switch skills with activities incorporating repetition with variety improves a student's access method to become more automatic. These four activities help students develop motor skills necessary for point or step scanning, as well as mouse emulation.
