Communication is a two-way process. As such, the successful implementation of an AAC device depends as much on the skills of the person using AAC as it does on those of the communication partners. This session provides an overview of the characteristics, roles, and responsibilities of communication partners working with people who use AAC, with a focus on aided language input. Aided language input is a strategy in which the communication partner uses AAC to teach AAC. Shared reading is discussed as a vehicle for learning to use aided language input to support device implementation and facilitate language learning. You will have the opportunity to put it to practice through a hands-on activity.
