    Sensory Stories + with Joanna Grace

    In this episode, we take a different spin with books, guided by UK-based sensory and inclusion specialist, Joanna Grace.  I stumbled upon Joanna at the recent, online Early Years Summit and honestly, I want her to be my best friend.  I know, I'm a dork.  But seriously, she not only brings a charisma to this and all talks she provides, she has an insightful, sensory rich perspective that everyone supporting kids with complex needs should hear.  Joanna spent some time talking about her ambitious sensory stories and their role in building communication.  She emphasized the importance of strategy alongside creative and inexpensive "tools" to provide rich sensory experiences that help children access their world in meaningful ways when language may not yet be firmly formed. Joanna Grace is a sensory engagement and inclusion specialist, author, trainer, TEDx speaker and Founder of The Sensory Projects.  She is working to contribute to a future where people are understood in spite of their differences. The Sensory Projects run on the principle that with the right knowledge and a little creativity inexpensive resources can become effective sensory tools for inclusion.

    Literacy Tips for the AAC SLP

    In this episode, we welcome back a prior blog contributor, and rockstar in the AAC and AT field, Beth Poss, who sets the stage further  for SLP's looking to integrate literacy into their language intervention with AAC users.  I met with Beth for an engaging hour earlier this month and had the pleasure of learning about her evidence-based and empowering philosophy on supporting literacy development for children with complex communication needs.  Beth gives a great intro to the theory surrounding comprehensive literacy for complex communicators.  She bolsters the role of the SLP in this process and lays out some practical strategies, reminding us all that literacy isn't just about access to knowledge and independence, it also gives us access to joy, further reinforcing that we must all work together to support literacy for all.  At the end of this talk, Beth shares a snap shot summary of the amazing content she will present in her upcoming, six part course on AAC, Literacy, and the SLP.
