Each month, we share a post from Claudia Marimón which features AAC work in Spanish-speaking countries, and offer translations of materials that can help families and service providers. In today’s post, Claudia invites us to celebrate Angelman Syndrome Awareness Month. Enjoy! Febrero: mes del Síndrome de Angelman Al iniciar febrero, mes en que se conmemora el Día del Síndrome de Angelman, queremos compartir con la comunidad hispanohablante algunas características que hacen tan especiales a los niños, niñas y jóvenes con este síndrome. Las personas con Síndrome de Angelman suelen destacarse por su alegría, su energía, su gran deseo de conectar con otros, y una forma única de estar en el mundo: curiosa, afectuosa y profundamente expresiva. Muchas veces comunican con el cuerpo, la mirada, la risa, los gestos y las vocalizaciones… esto significa que tienen mucho que decir. Sabemos que uno de sus grandes desafíos está... [Read More...]

It takes time and effort to plan for comprehensive core vocabulary instruction. The Year of Core Vocabulary Words and The School Year of Core Vocabulary Words, our series of monthly resources for core vocabulary teaching, have resources that can be helpful to therapists, educators, and families. We’re reprising those posts for anyone interested in following along and utilizing the resources developed by quite a few people in the AAC community. The initial series was based on a small set of core words for each month (see that post here). We followed that with a second set of Year of Core Vocabulary Word resources for a new list of words (click here for that post). Among the many resources are the activity calendars created by AAC SLP and co-founder of Talking AAC, Rachael Langley. There were many other contributors over the years who added to these efforts. The School Year of... [Read More...]
