In this course, you will learn that it’s never too early to start working on reading and writing skills for our AAC communicators, even if they are not yet using their AAC system independently.

You will learn how to:

Describe the learning paradigm between language and literacy development.

List three components of a comprehensive literacy program for emergent learners.
