Video of the Week: Supporting Core Vocabulary in a Life Skills Classroom

Planning, designing, creating, teaching.

Helping students become more proficient with their AAC systems often involves teaching core vocabulary and it can take considerable effort to integrate that into the daily routines of a busy classroom. In today’s featured video, we hear from Special Educator April Weitkamp who describes the process she used to support core vocabulary in an elementary school classroom. She shares her experiences and many lessons learned through the process of collaborating with the SLP and paraprofessionals to support core vocabulary learning in this multi-age group of students.

Many thanks to April and the Special Education Technology Center (SETC) in Washington for this helpful presentation.

Enjoy!
