Creating an AAC Immersion Classroom

As classrooms become more inclusive, educators are being asked to support more communication styles than ever, and most teams haven’t been shown what AAC can actually look like in a real classroom. This training is hands-on, practical, and designed to make AAC feel natural across the entire school day. You’ll learn how to build AAC into circle time, routines, social-emotional learning, and everyday instruction using ready-to-use visuals, engaging activities, and classroom examples that actually match what teachers are navigating. You’ll also get 3 complete circle time lesson plans with aligned resources, and we’ll walk you through exactly how to run them so you can start using them right away. AAC isn’t just for nonvocal learners. When all students have options for how they participate, respond, and communicate, engagement goes up, learning becomes more accessible, and disruptive behavior often decreases because students have clearer ways to be successful. This training is collaboratively led by Morgan van Diepen, M.Ed., BCBA, and Janna Bedoyan, M.Ed., NBCT and AAC Specialist, combining an evidence-based BCBA lens with real classroom experience for a perspective that’s both practical and relatable.
