Description

Non-verbal doesn't mean non-communicative. Every student has a voice — and with the right tools, we can help them use it.

In this episode of Be The Exception, you'll learn:

  • ✅ Why aided language input is a game-changer

  • ✅ How to use partner-assisted scanning for students with limited motor skills

  • ✅ Ways to build consistency with visuals across your classroom

  • ✅ How to train your team with the Para Handbook so communication doesn't fall apart when you're not in the room

🎓 Ready to go deeper?

Join me for the AAC Workshop — where I'll walk you through how to implement communication systems in a way that works for your classroom.
