Our UVU Special Education students recently welcomed Alpine School District's Utah Assistive Technology Team (UATT) for a hands-on learning experience focused on communication and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
Students explored strategies for supporting beginning communicators and learned how assistive technology can help individuals with complex communication needs express themselves, make choices, participate in learning, and connect with others.
Through hands-on exploration of communication devices, switches, and AAC systems, our future special educators gained valuable experience with tools and strategies they can use to support students with a wide range of communication abilities.
A big thank you to Alpine School District's UATT team for sharing their expertise and helping our future teachers better understand that communication is a right, not a privilege!
