Spark Up Your Approach to Communication and Literacy

Descripción

In this session, we’ll explore how to set meaningful goals and connect with what motivates today’s learners - knowing full well those motivators might shift tomorrow! You’ll discover how to align individual interests (yes, even niche ones like garage doors) with the right tools, apps, and activities to boost engagement. Whether it's music, movement, or sensory play, we’ll dive into strategies that keep AAC users actively communicating. Plus, we’ll tap into the power of creativity (even if you don’t think you’re the “creative type”) to bring literacy and communication to life in fresh, engaging ways.

The presentation will showcase innovative ways to align goals with what inspires each individual—including how tools like Google Assistant can be leveraged to boost engagement and real-world application.
