Emergent Literacy Interventions for Pediatric AAC Users with Extensive Support Needs

Sponsored by: Children's Hospital Colorado

Annual ASL Conference: Emergent Literacy Interventions for Pediatric AAC Users with Extensive Support Needs
Sofia Benson-Goldberg, PhD, CCC-SLP

Though most students acquire emergent skills and concepts before or shortly after beginning kindergarten, many students who use AAC, especially those with extensive support needs, require instruction throughout their school career to acquire them (Burnes & Clark, 2021). This workshop will offer an instructional framework and practical approaches to address the emergent literacy learning needs of children who are not able to rely solely on speech to be heard and understood. The focus will be on comprehensive approaches to emergent literacy with an emphasis on application and use rather than skill mastery.
