This webinar emphasizes the need for individuals using AAC to develop language and skills that support social and interactive communication. Narrative language development focuses on the skills used in interactive discourse and social communication. These are skills that can be developed through a process called “decontextualization” in which language used in storybook reading is learned and used in story re-reading/telling and play activities. It is also a key dimension of conversational or social communication and symbolic development that is needed for language using AAC.
