Welcome to our new series, , where we will be sharing a helpful therapy tip- straight from our CORE SLPs and OTs!
This week: AAC Modeling without Expectation Modeling is essential for our AAC users! Model without expectation: that means show them how to say the word without making them say that word. This way they get the input of a functional word around what they're doing, but don't feel disrupted in their play! When they get to keep playing and you model without expectation, they may be more willing to engage with the AAC device because it's not being forced upon them!
