How do you know which words to target for new AAC users? In this first phase of Your Core Mission you will learn about core vocabulary. We will explore this concept by reviewing typical language development. Participants will engage in hands-on activities to experience using core vocabulary in choosing early language targets. This will demonstrate how core vocabulary can enhance AAC users’ ability to express themselves in a wide variety of settings and situations.Join us on this mission to discover the power of core vocabulary! This is Phase 1 in a 3-part series for Your Core Mission.
