Conversation Series on CVI and AAC with Dr. Christine Roman Lantzy

This presentation will enhance the ability of participants to design and implement research-based AAC supports for individuals with autism spectrum disorders and problem behavior. The session will begin with a rationale for the use of AAC in this regard, followed by examples of augmented input supports that include visual schedules and contingency maps. Augmented output interventions such as functional communication training using AAC and choice-making supports will also be described, with case study examples. Participants will be able to: 1. Explain the relationship between communication and problem behavior 2. Describe essential elements in the design of visual schedule and contingency map interventions 3. Describe four essential elements of functional communication training 4. Give an example of the use of AAC for choice-making as a solution for problem behavior.
