Description:
This monthly professional learning series is designed for SLPs and teachers working with students with significant cognitive disabilities who have little or no communication. Project Core was developed by the Center for Literacy and Disability Studies, a unit in the Allied Health Sciences Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It is an evidence-based training aimed at developing teaching practices to target communication and literacy using universal core vocabulary through augmentative alternative communication (AAC). These one-hour sessions will occur using an online virtual meeting platform. Act 48 hours can be obtained by completing both in-session and outside assignments. Attendance and assignment completion is required for all days of the series. Sessions will be recorded for those who cannot attend during live sessions. It is recommended that a team of two (SLP and special education teacher) work together to complete this training.
