Supported language group (includes clinical goals and is supervised by a speech-language pathologist). The group’s primary purpose is to aid participants in communicating their own thoughts, so all assistance respects each participant’s communication autonomy.

ConversAACion - An AAC Conversation Club, is a twice-weekly virtual conversation group for school-age participants who use speech-generating devices to support communication.
Our focus is on helping participants use their speech-generating devices to express their thoughts and grow the complexity of their language in authentic age-appropriate activities like movie discussions, games, and virtual field trips.
Schedule
The supported language group meets Mondays & Wednesdays OR Tuesdays & Thursdays from 4:00 - 5:00pm. The social group meets Thursdays from 4:00 - 5:00pm.

Virtual meetup for AAC users "CONVERSAACION" CLUB WITH CSU EAST BAY - via Zoom

Our focus is on helping participants use their speech-generating devices to express their thoughts and grow the complexity of their language in authentic age-appropriate activities like movie discussions, games, and virtual field trips.
