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.
