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.
