• Things you can easily get or make
• Things you can acquire with resources
Key Concepts AAC & MWS

more than they expressive communicate.
• When comprehension is better than speech ability it is
imperative to look for ways to develop communication using
non-verbal ways such as signing or using an AAC system.
What do you have with you?Discussion
What is your name?
Where do you live?
How are you feeling?
What do you want to do?
How many people live in your house?
What did you do last night?
Core Vocabulary
Core vocabulary is a small set of simple words, in
any language, that are used frequently and across
contexts. Approximately 80% of the words in a
sample of 100 total words will be core, but many
of the core words will be used repeatedly, so the
number of different words is small.
Core Vocabulary
Interjections (social words)
yes no thank you please hi / hello good-bye
Pronouns
I me my mine you it he she we they
Question Words
what when where who why how
Preverbs (helping words)
be is am are was were do did can have will
Verbs (action words) go stop turn make look see
find put open close eat drink get help want need
say tell come read like feel color ‘let’s work’ play
finished / ‘all done’
Adjectives (descriptive words) more one big little
fast slow same different pretty red blue yellow good
bad new old happy sad
Prepositions (placing words) on off in out up down
to for under with
Determiners (pointer words) this that some all
Conjunctions (connecting words) and but
Adverbs (tell when, where, how) not / don’t now
here there away again
attributed to prenrom.com
100 Core Word List based on:
• Banajee List of Toddler Vocabulary
• Dolch Pre-Primer & Primer
• Gail Van Tatenhove First 50 Words
• LAMP Starter Words
• PRC Core Starter Sets • Clinical Judgment
AAC Modeling
• Would we expect children to learn to talk
if they never heard speech?
•Would we learn a new language if no one
around us used it?
Why do we expect children to robustly use
AAC if we don’t model it?

other forms of communication. (saying +)
ALL of us use ALTERNATIVES to speech
