Model as a MASTER PAL Training

Developed by Tabi Jones-Wohleber, MS, CCC-SLP

“Model as a MASTER PAL was developed to help shape behaviors and belief systems of communication partners supporting individuals who use AAC. It was developed from the premise that 1) AAC implementation is not intuitive, and 2) communication is not compliance. This training series assumes core vocabulary instruction has already been covered, and communication partners require additional information to improve effectiveness of implementation. The structure of this training series lends itself to delivery over time for ongoing discussion and support related to AAC implementation.  It emphasizes that modeling language with AAC is the communication partners responsibility (full stop)!”
