It presents the foundational knowledge of AAC in a way that is engaging for students, incorporating pedagogical elements designed to encourage active learning such as quick application tasks in a Mindful Minute, time for Reflection, and Integration Tasks that promote critical thinking that are embedded in each chapter. The text invites the reader to build AAC skills and knowledge including assessment and intervention, AAC technology, literacy, and communication partner support that culminates in a final chapter on AAC intervention session design.
Key Features
Bolded terms: Allows students to visually landmark on important concepts, create associations with the surrounding text, and identify them again more easily when preparing for assignments, projects, exams, and application in real life.
Case studies: Numerous cases and vignettes create an opportunity to blend conceptual knowledge with a real-world person. They play a vital role in creativity, allowing students to consider application of concepts to someone that they may work with or support in their future.
Mindful Minutes: Engagement tasks ask the learner to act upon the concepts by practicing or thinking about what was read. These opportunities generate action and provide a different way for learners to cognitively engage with the concepts in addition to reading.
Reflections: Encourage students to think about their experiences, activate background knowledge, or consider concepts as they may be new or offer a different perspective.
