“Core Vocabulary has been a hot topic in the world of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) for some time now, but it’s not always easy to explain the significance to staff working with children with complex communication needs. Let’s face it, sometimes it’s even a challenge to make sure the AAC device is always readily available, let alone delve into evidence-based practices such as modeling and descriptive teaching! The task of district-wide implementation can seem like a daunting one, but with small steps over time you too can help your district see the value in creating communication-rich environments for all students.

Join Sara Ayars, Assistive Technology Specialist and Speech Language Pathologist, as she takes you on a tour of Bellevue School District’s approach to core vocabulary implementation. From creation of a district-wide “Big Core Board” to training and roll-out, Sara will take you step-by-step through the process Bellevue School District is using to introduce staff and students to core vocabulary across the district.”
