AACES Conference 2023 Session

Taming the Advice Monster: Strategies to Support Collaborative Efforts 

Drag to resize
The students we serve often have complex needs, which necessitates a team-based approach - communication isn't and can't just be a “speech thing”. While it may be easier for us to provide direct answers or advice to those working with complex communicators, coaching often yields better understanding and willingness to shift practices overall. Join us for this interactive session where participants will learn about Jim Knight's Partnership Principles, GROWTH coaching, and how to support adult learners (yes, it's different than working with students). The strategies learned within this session can be applied to individual teams as well as AAC capacity-building efforts.
