What's Included:

Why You'll Love It:

When learning gets stopped in its tracks, something is in the way.
Our newest handbook, When Learning Hits the Wall, helps educators make sense of those moments—when a student shuts down, rushes through work, or simply disengages—and respond with clarity instead of guesswork, even when they’ve already tried “everything.”
It focuses on helping identify what system is breaking down in the moment and what needs to change so learning can resume. The book introduces a practical, research-grounded, barrier-based framework for matching support to real barriers—while keeping learning goals intact.
Choose Digital, Print, or Both to access When Learning Hits the Wall.
How This Book Supports Educators, Teams, and Families
Better understand why learning breaks down in the moment
Respond to shutdowns, rushing, and disengagement with clarity
Match support to what’s blocking access
Keep learning goals intact while restoring access to learning
Who this is for (and who it’s not)
Teachers in inclusive classrooms who need practical, in-the-moment ways to respond when students shut down, freeze, rush through work, or disengage
Educators asked to “differentiate” or “provide accommodations” without a clear framework for deciding what actually needs to change
Teachers supporting twice-exceptional, undiagnosed, or inconsistently accessing learners, where needs shift depending on task, pace, or environment
School leaders and instructional coaches working to improve consistency and accuracy in support decisions across classrooms
IEP and problem-solving teams frustrated by vague accommodations (like “preferential seating” or “extra time”) that don’t reliably restore access
Teams seeking clarity without increasing documentation or compliance burden
Parents and caregivers trying to understand why supports aren’t working—not just what supports are being used
What’s inside
This book provides a clear, repeatable way to understand why learning breaks down—and how to restore access when it does.
First: A practical framework for identifying learning breakdownsLearn how to better identify what’s actually getting in the way when a student freezes, shuts down, rushes, or disengages.
Then: A shared language for understanding barriersClarifies the difference between task demands, domains, hidden barriers, and access conditions—so decisions stay focused and consistent.
At the core: The six hidden barriers that drive most learning strugglesClear explanations of processing speed, working memory, task initiation, attention shifting, organization & sequencing, and regulation load—with real classroom examples.
Tools for identifying barriers in the momentQuick scans, flowcharts, and observation prompts designed to support real-time decisions, not after-the-fact analysis.
Guidance for matching support to the barrier—not the behaviorLearn when accommodations restore access, when modifications are appropriate, and why good intentions sometimes lead to the wrong support.
Barrier-based accommodation examples that actually generalizePractical ways to adjust pace, language, structure, and conditions so students can engage with the same learning goals.
Disability snapshots as starting points—not conclusionsADHD, autism, dyslexia, DLD, mental health, intellectual disability, trauma, and TBI—included to support observation and context, not to prescribe support.
Language that protects dignity and restores accessScripts and framing that help students re-enter learning without increasing pressure, shame, or confusion.
This book is designed to be used flexibly—read cover to cover, referenced during planning, or pulled out in the middle of a tough moment when learning hits the wall.

AAC Handbook for SLPs
The SLP’s Guide to AAC: From Assessment to Implementation

AAC-Adapted Chapter Book
The Tower Treasure — Fully Adapted for AAC Users
Give AAC users the experience of a real mystery novel.
This AAC-adapted edition of The Hardy Boys: The Tower Treasure keeps the full mystery plot, rewritten in clear, AAC-friendly language.
Supported text, visuals, and AAC-smart supports make it possible for complex communicators to follow, discuss, and enjoy the story from start to finish.
Created by an AAC specialist SLP, this resource is built for students who need significant language, visual, and communication supports—but still deserve age-respectful chapter books.
17 fully adapted chapters Pre-reading and comprehension questions 3 differentiated journal formats Works with any AAC system
Experience the entire a classic Frank and Joe Hardy mystery, for complex communicators.
Run predictable, chapter-by-chapter lessons with minimal prep.
Match icons to any AAC system so students can respond using the language they know.
Built for real AAC classrooms
What This Resource Makes Possible
Let AAC users engage with a chapter book with age-appropriate story.
Use a consistent routine: pre-reading → story → engagement → journal.
Give students multiple ways to respond: AAC, pointing, partner-assisted scanning, writing, and more.
Facilitate rich comprehension discussions using AAC-friendly WH questions and visuals.
Support mixed-ability groups where everyone can access the same story at their own level.
Build stamina, background knowledge, and narrative understanding over time.
Why This Chapter Book Is Different
Most AAC “books” are short, babyish. Older students quickly recognize that their materials don’t match what their peers are reading—and they disengage.
This resource allows students to experience the fun mystery plot of The Tower Treasure while adapting the language, visuals, and response options for AAC users. Students aren’t focused on the supports—they’re focused on the story.
Everything is designed so that complex communicators can:
Follow the plot from chapter to chapter
Use their AAC system to comment, predict, and answer WH questions
Enjoy an age-respectful story with real stakes and problem-solving
Chapter-by-Chapter Structure
Every chapter follows the same AAC-friendly routine so students know what to expect:
Pre-reading questions and visuals to preview key events and vocabulary
Adapted chapter story with symbol-supported text and AAC modeling prompts
Engagement & comprehension questions offered in both multiple-choice and open-ended formats
Look-Back Learning: incorrect answers redirect students to the exact place in the story they need to revisit—reinforcing how strong readers look back and find evidence in the text
A link to a printable journal activity with 3 differentiated options: cut & paste, fill-in-the-blank with a word bank, and independent writing
Optional sensory items and tangibles suggested for each chapter to bring the story to life
Plan on roughly one chapter per week for a semester-long unit—or adjust the pacing based on your group’s needs.
How It Works in Real Classrooms
Use this resource in whole group, small group, or 1:1 instruction:
Project the Google Slides for shared reading and group discussion.
Pause on text to model responses on students’ AAC systems.
Use the comprehension/engagement questions as exit tickets, informal data, or guided practice.
Extend learning with printable journals in 3 formats to match fine-motor and language needs.
Layer in sensory extensions and tangible items for students who benefit from hands-on input.
You can build a weekly “Hardy Boys day” into your schedule or weave chapters into your existing literacy block.
Works with Any AAC System
This resource includes generic, non-proprietary AAC icons so you can use it as-is right away.If you prefer, the icon placeholders are fully editable, allowing you to swap in icons from the AAC systems your students already use — as long as you have legal access to those symbol sets.
You can match your classroom’s AAC layouts, including systems such as:
LAMP Words for Life
TouchChat
TD Snap
Proloquo
Unity
PODD
CoughDrop
Custom or district-created systems
Customizing the icons ensures questions, answers, and story language mirror the layout students already know, which reduces cognitive load and increases independence.
Age-Respectful Literacy for Grades 3–12
The content is designed for older elementary through high school AAC users:
Mystery, danger, and problem-solving—not “little kid” plots
Characters and situations that feel appropriate for roughly ages 8–18
Supports that protect student dignity while making the text accessible
Mixed-age classrooms and programs can read the same story together while you adjust questions, response formats, and supports for each student.
What You Get

✨ What’s Inside

Explicit teaching of self-regulation → build routines instead of assuming students “just know.”
UDL & sensory checklists → design classrooms where every student feels safe.
Family + caregiver guides → bridge support between home and school.
Leadership reflection tools → help admins model regulation and reduce burnout.
🛠 Tools You’ll Use Right Away

Just 80 words make up about half of everyday English. This is the curriculum that teaches them—systematically, across a full school year.
AAC Core Word Builder: The Complete Bundle brings together all three sets of Meg Mott's structured AAC curriculum—60 weeks of ready-to-use lessons designed to turn foundational core vocabulary into real, generalized communication.
Created by Meg Mott, M.S., CCC-SLP, AdaptEd's resident AAC specialist and parent of an autistic son. Originally built for teletherapy in 2020 and refined across years of real classroom and clinic use, this curriculum is now trusted by SLPs, special educators, and AAC teams across the country.
Buy the bundle and save $30 versus purchasing Sets 1, 2, and 3 individually.
Why core words matter
Just 80 words make up about half of the English we use every day. These foundational words are how students share what they want, need, and feel—and they're the bridge between isolated vocabulary and real communication.
For many students with complex communication needs, reaching those first words can feel out of reach. Without structured, sequenced instruction, core vocabulary stays locked behind frustration. AAC Core Word Builder is the systematic program that changes that—giving you 60 weeks of expert-designed lessons that move students from recognizing words to actually using them, across settings, with the people who matter.
What makes this curriculum different
This isn't a stack of flashcards or a pile of worksheets. Every week of instruction is built around one core word and seven coordinated activities—designed to engage students through multiple modalities, build regulation into the lesson, and extend learning beyond the session.
Introductory games — low-pressure practice that makes new words stick without performance pressure
Animated adapted books — real images and movement on every page to hold attention and reinforce the word in context
Movement breaks — regulation built in, tied to the target word, so students stay engaged and focused
Bonus activities — songs, videos, guided drawings, and book extensions that deepen learning across the week
Parent handouts — clear guidance for families so vocabulary actually generalizes to home
Homework — simple reinforcement that extends progress across settings, easily shared electronically
You're not just teaching words. You're giving students the tools to use those words in authentic conversations, across environments, with the people who matter most.
Who this is for
SLPs who want a structured, evidence-aligned AAC curriculum without spending Sundays building lessons from scratch
Special education teachers supporting students with complex communication needs across a full school year
Teletherapy and hybrid clinicians who need engaging, screen-friendly materials that hold attention across digital sessions
AAC teams looking for shared lesson materials that align across providers, classrooms, and home
Parents wanting to extend AAC learning at home with structured guidance, not generic suggestions
What's inside: 60 weeks of lessons
The complete curriculum is divided into three sets, each introducing 20 weeks of high-frequency, functional core vocabulary. Together they provide a full school year of systematic AAC instruction.
Set 1 — Weeks 1–20The foundation: words that get students moving, asking, and connecting.
Go (2 weeks) · Turn (2 weeks) · Not/Don't (2 weeks) · Eat · Come · Put · Help · Like · Open · Want · All Done · More · What? · I/You · On · Off · Drink
Set 2 — Weeks 21–40Building on the foundation: regulation, evaluation, and richer interaction.
Stop · Get · Look/See · Up · Good · Make · Work · In · Who · Read · Different · Bad · Hear/Listen · Take · Do · Again · Wait · Happy · Sick · Out
Set 3 — Weeks 41–60Completing the year: descriptive language, emotional vocabulary, and forward motion.
All · Little · Where · Big · Silly · Watch · Sad · Some · Down · Dirty · Clean · Feel · Give · Fast · Slow · That · When · Ready · Away · All Gone
Note: In Set 1, three high-utility words (Go, Turn, and Not/Don't) receive two weeks of instruction each because their frequency and functional reach justify the deeper repetition. This is intentional pacing, not padding.
Bundle savings
Set 1 individually: $59.99
Set 2 individually: $59.99
Set 3 individually: $59.99
Complete Bundle: $149 — save $30

For Years, You Didn't Have a Word for It. Now You Do.
"I'm often daunted by reading about this topic, so I avoid it. This was presented in a way that did not overwhelm me at all. Concise and useful."— Ami C., verified buyer
This is the guide for everything that comes next.
Navigating Neurodiversity is a practical, field-tested handbook for the late-diagnosed adult—178 pages covering everything from diagnosis to daily life, written by someone who has lived it.
✨ What's Inside
Diagnosis & identification → ADHD, autism, late-identified neurodivergence, and the many paths to self-discovery.
Masking → what it is, what it costs, and how to start unmasking on your own terms.
Executive functioning & sensory → ND profiles, regulation, stimming, and the real reasons "just try harder" never worked.
Communication & relationships → the Double Empathy Problem, ND/NT dynamics, and scripts for being understood.
Workplace & daily life → ADA accommodations, ND job strengths, finances, healthcare, and the things nobody warned you about.
ND challenges → dysregulation, RSD, PDA, and self-injurious behaviors—addressed honestly.
Finding affirming care → choosing a therapist, mental health considerations, and what non-affirming care looks like.
👤 Who It's For
This is for the adult who got their diagnosis at 32, or 47, or 58—or who is starting to recognize themselves in what their child or client is going through.
It's for the person who spent decades being told they were lazy, sensitive, dramatic, or just trying harder than everyone else seemed to need to.
It's also useful for the educational therapist, the partner, or the friend who wants to understand what their client or loved one is actually navigating.
A note on what this book isn't: it's not a guide for adults with significant support needs, and it's not a parenting resource. It's for the person who made it into adulthood by adapting—and is ready to stop doing that alone.
