Strengthening Your Core: Building
Vocabulary Muscles for Stability and
Independence
Amanda
Hettenhausen
MAR, CCCSLP/L
This seminar will provide an overview of core vocabulary and
how it is represented across two AAC platforms. Core
vocabulary is comprised of the words we use for
communication regardless of context. About 80% of the words
we use will be core, and teaching these words to individuals
using AAC is particularly important. Participants will develop an
understanding of what core vocabulary is and how it can be
represented in a variety of ways. We will discuss the
importance of core vocabulary and creating the ability to use it
across contexts. Participants will experience hands on practice
using core vocabulary on multiple AAC devices.
