Joe Doran from @AceCentre's presentation about working with teachers to incorporate #AAC use in their lessons & classrooms really resonated. After a session filled with practical ideas, he ends by posing a question on how we get teachers to prioritise communication. #AACSIG

For AAC to work we need teachers onboard, SLT alone will only impact bottom two parts of pyramid and will only effect 1 hour of clients week. Not enough! Need teachers to be engaged and understand AAC. Joe Doran @AceCentre presenting at @AACSIG @Comm_Matters @RCSLTLearn

#AACSIG to get teachers on board with #AAC in class, do not just tell them what to do, have practical activities with teachers getting them actively involved in using #AAC

#AACSIG teachers need to buy in the #SLT's advice re: using #AAC in class. To sell it, establish a relationship,show the advantages for the teacher, consider the environment and think of the whole class, not one individual student

Joe Doran gives really practical (and realistic) advice to the #AACSIG on working with teachers to incorporate AAC use in their classrooms. Building a relationship & keeping the conversation is key!
