Supporting literacy with Liberator

Successful implementation and retention of an AAC device requires effective and consistent modelling within a person’s everyday environments. For children therefore, this includes both at home and at school. However, there are often a number of barriers which can prevent AAC being embedded within the classroom effectively. Through speaking with education professionals, it is often reported that some of the most common barriers include:

• Learning how to navigate the different devices and vocabularies within the classroom.
• Understanding the practical steps to creating a total communication environment.
• Considering ways to increase access to the curriculum for AAC users.

This presentation will highlight some real-life solutions which will support delegates to navigate these challenges within their own settings. Attendees will also be provided with practical resources to implement within their own classroom.
