ow to communicate using their specific methods (e.g., voice output device, communication board/book, etc). In fact, if a child using a communication device only receives models of how to use their tool to communicate during twice weekly, 20-30 minute isolated speech therapy sessions, it would take the student 84 YEARS to experience the same level of input their typically developing peer receives within the first 18 months of their life (Jane Korsten, 2011 QIAT Listserv 4th April)! Therefore, communication partners of students with Complex Communication Needs (CCN) who use AAC have a critical role in successful device implementation. During this training, we will discuss common barriers communication partners face when working with students who use AAC. We will also identify strategies to overcome these barriers and discuss how to use and implement communication supports throughout the day to have a positive impact on student device use and language learning across environments, including school and home. At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: State reasons why communication partners are vital for successful device use. State possible barriers that would interfere with a communication partner’s ability to successfully implement a device. Identify at least 5 strategies to improve a student’s use of their device. Identify at least 3 strategies you can use with your student to improve their device use.
