TELL ME: AAC in the Classroom – Supporting Core Vocabulary Through Shared Reading and Routines - 36602

Looking for effective, evidence-based strategies to support language development in children who use AAC? This session introduces the TELL ME: AAC in the Preschool Classroom program and Tell Me, Too for School-Aged Children—a structured, research-informed approach that empowers educators and speech-language pathologists to teach high-frequency core vocabulary in meaningful, engaging ways. Using beloved books like I Went Walking and That is Not a Good Idea, the program integrates shared reading, shared writing, and daily classroom routines to create rich language-learning opportunities. Learn how the TELL ME programs can be implemented across a range of AAC systems, how to involve families through take-home materials, and how to foster collaboration across teams to support every communicator. Participants will receive both of the TELL ME program curriculums for FREE! This session will focus on the TELL ME: AAC program sold by Attainment. 0.45 ASHA CEUs offered
