I was it's so funny.
podcast-host
You're talking about this experience.
podcast-host
Yesterday I was on a call where one of my clients was having an AAC training for their team.
podcast-host
And so I was invited to go and
podcast-host
It was completely the opposite of what you just explained.
podcast-host
It was like kinda boring, kinda basic, not super like engaging.
podcast-host
And as you were sharing your experience, I was thinking like, you know, the beginning of the school year, this is when everyone's doing all the training, right?
podcast-host
It's when everyone's going into the classrooms or having special meetings outside.
podcast-host
of you know the school day to train communication partners on AAC for that new student in their class that uses AAC.
podcast-host
Like, what if we did more activities, like you just explained, where we're able to share about all the different components that are really important with AAC, but we do it in a way that not only teaches the classroom staff, but also teaches the children in the classroom so they can be allies for our students, they can be peer models, and it's just more engaging.
podcast-host
And more fun.
podcast-host
It's like, and it doesn't have to be this like, oh, everyone stay after school for an hour to learn about AAC.
podcast-host
It's like we're learning about it right alongside of our students who are actually engaging with it.
podcast-host
And it's super practical and it's super fun.
podcast-host
And so it's just like hopefully this story can really inspire people who are listening to rethink AAC training.
podcast-host
Because it doesn't have to be a super boring PowerPoint where you're just going over basic facts.
podcast-host
And in fact, I would argue that that's not going to translate to our communication partners in the classroom actually knowing what to do.
podcast-host
And so I love all the things that you're sharing and I feel like it can be inspiration to our listeners to again rethink how we're s supporting our students, especially in Gen N and mainstream classrooms.
podcast-host
It's like, why wouldn't we involve the entire class if we could?
podcast-host
Um not only does it promote, you know, AAC in that classroom, but it just creates a culture around it and it's just it's more fun.
