So that episode with Alyssa Hillary Zisk and Lily Conan, I start talking about that motor planning piece because, you know, if we're
podcast-host
Thinking about stage one of gestalt language processing through the NLA framework, it's like, okay, well, lots of phrases.
podcast-host
But if we program lots of phrases into an AAC system, but we're not actually teaching the motor planning behind that phrase, then as we go through that framework, it just becomes really tricky to navigate mitigation.
podcast-host
And how do we actually teach the individual motor plans for each word?
podcast-host
And so
podcast-host
One of the things that I learned from that episode is making sure that we aren't just programming a bunch of phrases into an AAC system and that's it.
podcast-host
We can do that as a way to support our learners, especially if, you know, we know that there's a specific gestolte or phrase that's really powerful for them.
podcast-host
However, like we need to keep in mind that.
podcast-host
eventually it all leads to generative language.
podcast-host
And that generative language through AAC means making sure that our students have the individual motor plans for each word of an utterance.
podcast-host
And so it just it does become really complicated, but
podcast-host
I am making sure that I
podcast-host
Alongside of including gestalt and phrases into the programming of an AAC device, I'm also modeling um those single words um so that we can build that skill.
podcast-host
Um I don't know if that makes sense, but it's it's it's fun related
podcast-host
to marry.
podcast-host
Them, you know.
podcast-host
Well, exactly, because it's kind of like apples and oranges in a lot of ways.
podcast-host
And, you know, even with the Alyssa Hillary Ziscally Conine episode, um, you know, one of their suggestions was to model, like, why are we only modeling the single words?
podcast-host
We need to be modeling long phrases.
podcast-host
And while I believe that to be true, I also know even when I'm modeling single words for some of my students, they're not responding and they're not imitating.
