Julie Barber-Bristol, MS, CCC-SLP, shares practical ways to combine literacy-based therapy, picture books, and AAC to create meaningful, engaging language-learning experiences for AAC users. Through shared reading activities, you'll learn how to highlight key story elements, introduce and reinforce vocabulary, and support communication opportunities throughout the reading process.
The course also explores how to extend learning beyond the book with hands-on, play-based activities that encourage language use, participation, and carryover. Whether you work in schools, early intervention, or clinical settings, you'll leave with ideas you can immediately use to make literacy instruction more accessible, interactive, and engaging for AAC users.
