Video of the Week: Building a Love of the Social World in a UDL Classroom

“The love of the social world leads children to develop language.”

Today, we turn our attention to some foundational issues important to those of us who try to help children with AAC needs become linguistically competent. Emily Rubin, director of the Educational Outreach Program at the Marcus Autism Center at Emory University in Atlanta, helps us understand the role of social-emotional engagement and ways we can support that in the classroom using Universal Design for Learning.

Thanks to Emily Rubin and OCALICON for making this presentation, which was originally a keynote address, available to those who could not attend.
