Future of AAC – AI and AAC in Practice: Prompting, Modeling, & Supporting Language and Literacy

Date: 02/05/2027 Time: 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM PST Location: Online

Description

Integrating AI into AAC intervention requires more than access to tools. It requires intentional clinical decision-making that supports authorship, language development, and literacy. Without structured support, AI may risk overriding user intent or limiting opportunities for active language learning. This session provides practical strategies for integrating AI into AAC intervention through prompting and modeling.

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

  • Analyze two examples of prompting that support or limit AAC user authorship
  • Apply two modeling strategies that support language expansion and literacy development using AI
  • Implement strategies that support user selection and refinement of AI-generated language

Agenda
