Introduction
This episode is part of the upcoming online event called Behavior Connect. Behavior Connect is all about moving beyond traditional behavior strategies to foster authentic connections with children.
In this episode, I am joined by Katelyn Kelps, an experienced SLP passionate about AAC and neurodiversity affirming practices, as we explore multi-modal communication strategies in educational settings.
Diving into Multi-modal Communication
Katelyn shares practical approaches for high and low support needs students, including the use of core boards, single message switches, break cards, and text to speech apps. She also discusses the importance of normalizing non-spoken communication and increasing school team collaboration to support neurodivergent students.
Kaitlyn's personal experience as a neurodivergent professional provides valuable insights into enhancing functional communication for all students.
