Be The Exception In Special Education

284.How to Use AAC in Your Special Education Classroom (Even If You’re Just Starting Out)


Listen Later

AAC isn’t just for non-verbal students. It’s a powerful tool that supports communication for all students in special education classrooms.

In this episode of Be The Exception, you’ll learn:

  • Why AAC matters for every student — not just those without verbal speech.

  • Easy ways to start modeling core words every day.

  • How to make AAC feel doable, not overwhelming.

Plus, I’ll share how our membership training, Say It Without Speaking, gives you practical, low-stress strategies and ready-to-use visuals to bring AAC into your daily routines.

👉 Join The Exceptional Collective today to access the training, visuals, and a community of teachers making communication a priority.
