Presentation transcript:

+ Alternative Methods of Communication (AAC) Jennifer Lozier M.S. CCC-SLP

+ What is AAC? Augmentative and Alternative Communication Augmentative- to facilitate, help along Alternative- replacing

+ Why we communicate 1. Needs and wants 2. Info transfer 3. Social closeness 4. Social etiquette

+ Competencies needed for use Linguistic- receptive and expressive language skills Operational- technical skills/maintenance Social- conversational desire/skills Strategic- communication repair

+ Symbols Something that stands for or represents something else *Need to know cause and effect and concept of “same” to represent objects

+ System levels No tech- paper, gestures Low tech- needs a battery, has a switch Mid tech- layers of recordability, like a tape recorder High tech- iPad, it is already programmed

+ System levels Fixed Display Type Choices on the page are presented in one, unchanging way. No and low-tech Dynamic Display Type Page changes when something is selected. Ex. Click “Food” and a whole new page of different foods pops up High-tech

+

+ Considerations for display Number of items Size Spacing and arrangement Orientation

+ Beginning communicators Symbolic Approaches Visual Schedule- good to give concrete meaning and to help with transitions Basic message- very concretely attached to what it means Choice making Teach to choose: Elicited- “push bubble” Independent- them pushing “bubble” on their own to indicate want Give choice making opportunities Start with real then to partial then to pic then to symbol

+ Requesting Very basic skill Related to behavioral issues Naturalistic teaching PECS- they request items using pictures Rejecting Most negative behaviors actually mean this Teach no, break, all done- they need a way to tell you they don’t want the item. Yes/no Use highly motivating and highly undesirable stimuli
