Overview
Research supports using AAC with nonverbal individuals with ASD but discrepancies persist between the language modality of AAC users and the primary language models of their language-learning environment. We investigated the impact of an immersive, speech-generating classroom on language acquisition rates of school-age children with ASD compared to traditional treatment.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to identify three characteristics of an immersive AAC classroom
- Participants will be able to identify the immersive classroom's effect on four aspects of language development.
- Participants will be able to explain two differing outcomes between immersive AAC classroom participants and the control group.
