Designed for children learning to communicate using speech-generating devices — and for parents, educators, and SLPs supporting them. ------------------------------------------ 📌 What Are Core Words? Core vocabulary includes high-frequency words like pronouns, verbs, and adjectives that children use every day. These words help express needs, feelings, and ideas across all settings. 💬 What is AAC? AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) refers to all forms of communication beyond speech — including gestures, pictures, and high-tech devices like iPads. It helps individuals communicate effectively, regardless of their ability to speak. 🚫 AAC Myth Buster Using AAC will NOT stop a child from learning to talk. In fact, research shows AAC supports and even improves speech development! 🧠 What System Does Joe Use? Joe uses the LAMP WFL (Language Acquisition through Motor Planning – Words for Life) system, which teaches communication through consistent motor patterns and real, functional language. ------------------------------------------ Connect with Joe on social media for more information: TikTok:   / speechwithjoe   Instagram:   / speechwithjoe   Facebook:   / speechwithjoe   ------------------------------------------ #AAC #speechtherapy #corevocabulary #SLP #speechwithjoe
