Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Google Play Subscribe on Stitcher Despite sounding like Lunchlady Doris from the Simpsons and zoning in and out of consciousness, Rob does his best to attend to Jackie and Diana's review of articles about augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).  Whether using picture exchange or a speech-generating device, there's a lot to learn about how practitioners can improve the communication and vocalizations of clients using AAC.  Plus, the proper nomenclature when discussing PECS, echoics in the face of outrageous accents, using "all done" to end a showtune review, and how to mand for the popcorn that's across the table.  I think I got it.  Just play the episode again, I wasn't listening. Special shout-out to Kate Ahern and her website, Teaching Learners With Multiple Special Needs for the amazing Periodic Table of AAC image in the episode thumbnail and in the post body below, as well as for being a great resource for special education technology news.

With the year coming to a close, we thought we'd put out a quick video wishing all of our listeners, friends, and colleagues a happy holidays and a restful start to the new year.  And by quick, I mean we made my brother film us during his holiday party before we put all the kids to bed. Also, stay tuned to the whole episode for some big news about one of our hosts.  Could Rob be getting his PhD? Could Diana be starting her own line of baby-wear? Could Jackie be moving to Canada to star in a toy-based TV show? Grab a glass of egg nog, sit by the fire with your headphones on, and listen to our heartfelt thanks for your continued support.
