Join us for our January NWACS AAC Learning Network virtual event!

TOPIC: Thoughtful Inquiry: Spelling for Communication (a three-part series)

Description:  Over the past several years, we have seen more and more non-speaking young adults share their experiences growing up without AAC. Many are now communicating by spelling, pointing to letters, or selecting keys on a keyboard or touchscreen. What can our evidence-based practice tell us about supporting spelling as a method of communication?  How do we think about the past and consider what we see and experience in the present to make future decisions? 

(PART 1: Thursday, October 17, 2024)

(PART 2: Thursday, November 21, 2024)

PART 3: Sunday, January 19, 2025

In part 3 of this series, we will: 

• Continue with a question/answer and discussion of the topic of spelling as a communication method.

• Share the experiences of non-speaking AAC users who use spelling as their primary means of communication.
