Aided Language Stimulation Explained by Cartoon!

Aided Language Stimulation is a researched based type of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) intervention that has been around for decades.  Basically, with this strategy, the communication partner (i.e. mom, dad, teacher, friend, etc.) uses the AAC device of the child with the disability along with verbal speech to communicate with the child.  This modeling of the communication system in many cases can build a strong communication foundation and can encourage the child with the communication disorder to use the device.   AAC Language Lab has a great handout to explain this strategy with references.
