8-1: Teaching Access Through Meaningful Engagement

SUMMARY
This video discusses the importance of meaningful engagement in teaching alternative access to AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) learners. It emphasizes that learning emerges from meaningful social - emotional experiences. Lack of motivation and value in activities can hinder progress in accessing AAC tools. Feedback, interesting things to talk about, modeling and purpose are essential for learners to improve their access skills.
