Augmentative and Alternative Communication and Literacy

Help me give my students who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication books that have been designed to support literacy. These visual materials will support all students who benefit from visual supports.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cochran's classroom raised $665

This project is fully funded

My Project

AAC and Literacy has been designed to support students who use augmentative and alternative communication or for any student who benefits from visual supports! It is vital that we provide all students with literacy instruction, but it can be challenging for our non-verbal students.

Thanks to Donor Chose I was able to purchase materials on Teacher Pay Teachers a few months ago.

These materials also have books that are required as part of the program. Please help use complete these kits by purchasing all of the literature that is necessary.
