This week, the TWT team is pleased to share the first half of the “Golden Rules of AAC Competency in a New Era of Communication.” This session was originally presented by Lucas, Chris, and Rachel as part of the #XedAAC18 conference!
 
Before we present the first half of this session, Chris and Rachel discuss several topics related to 3D printing, including creating 3D core word symbols using Project Core!
 
Key ideas this week include:
? Teachers and SLPs can coordinate with students in “maker clubs” to print 3D core word symbols using Project Core.
? The “AAC competencies” are a helpful framework for planning AAC intervention by providing a broader definition of communication competence and success with AAC.
?  Five domains of communication competence in AAC: social, operational, linguistic, strategic, and emotional competence.
