In this “Recast” episode of Talking with Tech, we share a remastered episode that was previously aired on the podcast. This episode includes Chris Bugaj's interview with Shaun Pearson and Chris Chichoskikelly about the AAC Agreements, a set of “better” practices around AAC that were crowd sourced from stakeholders in the area of AAC at the ATIA conference in 2016 and 2018. You can learn more about the AAC Agreements here! Before the interview, Chris Bugaj, Rachel Madel, and Lucas Steuber discuss some of the key beliefs that they have around AAC and how they try and follow these guidelines within their own practices. During the interview, Chris, Chris, and Shaun discuss the following "AAC Agreements": 1. The student should have access to their communication system even while engaging in academic or leisure activities. 2. Everyone is a multi-modal communicator. A communication system should include multiple modalities. 3. There should always be a light tech option as part of an AAC system. 4. Motor planning is an important consideration of an organizational structure of an AAC system. 5. The communication system should allow for multiple pragmatic functions. 6. Core vocabulary should be taught. 7. Modeling (aided language stimulation) all day, every day is desired in AAC, with no requirement of a response. 8. Modeling should allow for growth in the individual's communication. 9. Modeling should be used to facilitate growth in communication. 10. Accept any mode of communication as valid, as long as your communication partner understands what it means. Don't require individuals to repeat themselves in another modality. Do model the response in the modality you are trying to teach. 11. The AAC system should always be immediately accessible to the user. 12. The AAC system should never be removed for disciplinary reasons. Visit talkingwithtech.org to access previous episodes, resources, and CEU credits that you can earn for listening to TWT episodes!

This week, Chris interviews Heidi Hosick Joyce, an SLP and specialist in both AAC and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Heidi and Chris discuss some of the differences between coaching in sports and coaching AAC communication partners, including "reflective coaching" - helping someone to change what they are doing at the level they are capable of. They talk about the importance of building a positive relationship, giving positive reinforcement, and using "I wonder" phrases to encourage self-reflection amongst communication partners. Before the interview, Chris discusses his upcoming session for Closing the Gap with Shaun Pearson and Katie Robertson called "Voice and Choice -- Learning Made Fun Through Interactive Choose Your Own Adventure Games". This session will focus on all the ways that generative language and core words can be encouraged playing "choose your own adventure" games. Rachel shares a strategy for logging an AAC user's spontaneous language - you can use a virtual assistant (e.g. Alexa, Google Home) to create a communication log all day long whenever communication occurs. Key ideas this week include:

This wasn't the show we planned! Sadly, major technological problems mean the original show, featuring Mark Griffiths, Lucy Scott and Tom Barlow, couldn't be recorded, and the audio of a second attempt, featuring Mark and Chay Long, corrupted! So, instead Mark discusses the unexpected cultural relevance of Diego Maradona to Wrexham AFC, we hear from Shaun Pearson and Mark Carrington, and there's an archive interview, which has never been aired before, with club legend Ian Moir, who sadly passed away in 2015. This podcast has a few extra bits we couldn't fit into the radio show.
