Courses I Teach

• CSD 6400 - Augmentative and Alternative Communication
  This course will introduce Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) for individuals of all ages, presenting with a range of abilities, communication challenges, and areas of need. This course emphasizes the ways in which the individual, their communication partners, and their environments impact the AAC tools and strategies prescribed and implemented, as well as the services rendered. Course participants will learn about no-tech, mid-tech and high-tech AAC, various ways AAC can be accessed, and assessment processes and intervention techniques for toddlers, school-aged individuals, and adults. Case examples help to bring this content to life, to ensure participants are better able to picture AAC and the important role it plays for people who use AAC and their communication partners.
