Activity:
All learners will be required to complete a project in which they demonstrate their understanding of AAC devices. You may work in self-chosen groups of 2-4 people. Learners will create a project for this assessment in their preferred format such as a 15 -20 slides presentation, ~ 6 pages double spaced report, infographic, or an 8-10 minute video. Please contact your teacher for approval if you’d like to submit a different format.
The goal of this project is to describe the components of AAC and the devices. As a guideline and baseline requirements, please touch on:
- ACC impact on self-expression
- Define different types and how they help in different settings
- Benefits of AAC devices
- Who’s qualified to use a device
- Where/when they can use it.
Please include any other details you deem relevant such as an overview, the history and growth of devices, etc. Submissions including the above requirement will be meeting expectations.
Submissions must use at least 5 references, one of which has to be an academic article/journal, and the other may be books, interviews, or gray literature (professional resources, blogs, videos, etc). You must use at least two of the below resources as references.
All submissions must include an attached title page and reference sheet in APA 7.
