Literacy skills, ASD, and AAC (Collaboration with Set-BC) POPARD Virtual Half-Day Workshop
May 16, 2025 8:30am-11:30am (Pacific Time) (for BC School Employees Only)
As many as 30%-50% of individuals with ASD do not develop full, functional speech repertoires. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems are frequently used to support and improve engagement and communication for these individuals, and with an increasing number of students with severe ASD and related complex communication needs entering schools,educators may have difficulty programming for these students in the inclusive classroom.
Literacy skills are required for a significant amount of educational participation, and integration of a student’s AAC with literacy instruction is an important part of a student’s meaningful inclusion.
In this workshop, participants will receive an overview of how literacy instruction can be achieved or supported
with different AACs and see examples of some in use.
Audience: This workshop is for employees of BC School Districts, BC First Nations Schools and BC Independent Schools.
