A main Goal of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is to provide users with the ability to communicate what they are thinking. Performance is generally stressed in schools, rather than communication. The importance of SNUG (Spontaneous Novel Utterance Generation) and a robust language system will be discussed as it relates to the levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. The difference between Augmentative Communication and Alternative Communication will be defined, and considered in relation to the idea that AAC is used as a last resort for students with minimal potential for developing effective verbal speech. The importance of using core vocabulary within an AAC system,  Aided Language Instruction, and Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP) will be explained, with practical suggestions for implementation within a school setting. Videos will be shown to illustrate the use of Core Vocabulary, Aided Language Instruction and LAMP.
