Naomi Herman
2019
I worked with children who were non-verbal and minimally verbal 20+ years ago. There were so many things I didn't know that I wish I had and many people still don't believe now that I know would have made kids I worked with who had no communication have much more communication.
The Development of an Assessment Tool to support AAC Practitioners -- The Pragmatics Profile for People who use AAC
Suzanne Martin
2020
This session will summarise the origins of The Pragmatics Profile for People who use AAC and will be useful for AAC Practitioners who want to develop their knowledge of this Assessment tool.

Sorting Through Tactiles for Literacy & Communication: What Are They & How Do You Use Them?
Kelly Fonner and Donna McNear
2024
This session explores the uses of tactiles, which are growing as an effective instructional strategy. Tactile representations are used for access to literacy and learning, and as a representation of language in both expressive and receptive communication. Presenters will explore two main teaching considerations supporting integrating the use of tactiles or reviewing their use: (1) What are the properties of tactiles? and (2) How do we use them?
