Happy October 1st! 🎃
October is AAC Awareness Month, and at Resources at Lakeshore Speech, we are kicking off 31 days of celebrating every way individuals communicate, learn, and express themselves. Communication is a fundamental human right, whether it’s through spoken words, high-tech speech-generating devices, or low-tech communication boards!
To celebrate, we’re dedicating this entire month to helping educators, SLPs, and families build communication-accessible environments. Starting next week, we’re diving deep into:
Breaking free from restrictive "6-word snack" IEP goals
Data collection hacks that won't disrupt your classroom flow
Using low-tech AAC for emotional regulation and co-regulation
Smart IEP accommodation strategies to secure district funding
Stay tuned every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday all month long for practical frameworks, plug-and-play goal templates, and expert tips drawing on a combined 60+ years of clinical AAC practice!
How is your school or clinic celebrating AAC Awareness Month this October?
