"Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) in the Preschool Classroom: Infusing Core Language Intervention" presented by Centre for Interdisciplinary Research and Collaboration in Autism (CIRCA) Presenter: Carole Zangari, Ph.D., CCC-SLP Professor and Director of the Tyler Institute, Nova Southeastern University, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Thursday October 17, 2013 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Neville Scarfe Building 2125 Main Mall Room 308A http://tinyurl.com/MaptoScarfe RSVP: http://tinyurl.com/CIRCA-CZangari Description: Speech-language pathologists and educators supporting preschoolers with autism and other developmental disabilities often need to infuse AAC interventions into classroom activities and routines. In many therapeutic settings, however, there is not a systematic process for teaching core vocabulary. This presentation describes a curricular approach in which core language is taught using early literacy activities, such as shared reading and writing lessons, typical classroom routines, and play/learning activities.
