Let’s talk comprehensive literacy and AAC!

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, I sat down with Amanda Soper who is an AAC expert, particularly when it comes to literacy and vision-impaired students. She’s here to discuss comprehensive literacy and how we can utilize robust AAC vocabulary to help our students reach their reading goals. 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The importance of high-quality literacy instruction with accommodations for our non-speaking students
• Why having a robust AAC vocabulary is critical for success 
• Examples of how to incorporate a language-rich literacy activity with a student with AAC
• Strategies you can use to make your lessons more meaningful 
• Tips for working with classroom teachers as a team to help your students succeed

Amanda is passionate that all kids, regardless of any disabilities, can learn to read, and I am so excited to share this conversation and all of her tips with you in this episode. Check it out now!
