I want to start blogging about Augmentative Alternative Communication...learning, answering my own and others questions, sharing information. I think I am perhaps spurred on by my self-acclaimed knowledge, and the challenge of AAC instruction I am receiving now. I feel like all my ego will be deflated. But we all need that here and there, don't we? On my mind currently:
1. In the public schools, we are tied to the law and how the state interprets the law. How does AAC/AT fit into the school standards and requirements?
2. How can AAC be made meaningful in an environment where the teachers don't understand it?
3. How do we consider AAC differently for different cognitive needs?
Can I take this on?
