Unlock communication with a full year of structured, ready-to-use AAC lessons—created by Meg Mott, M.S., CCC-SLP, AdaptEd’s resident SLP and AAC specialist. Why Core Words Matter Did you know that just 80 words make up about half of the English we use every day? These first words are the foundation of connection—helping students share what they want, need, and feel. But for many students, reaching those first words can feel overwhelming. Without structured support, communication stays locked behind frustration. That’s why we developed the AAC Core Word Builder Collection—a complete, systematic program that gives you 60 weeks of lessons designed to turn core vocabulary into real, meaningful communication. What Makes This Different This isn’t just a stack of flashcards. Each week’s lesson is built to engage students in multiple ways: 🎲 Introductory Games → fun, low-pressure practice that makes new words stick 📖 Animated Adapted Books → real images + movement to hold attention 🕺 Movement Breaks → regulation built in, so students stay engaged and focused 🎬 Bonus Activities → songs, videos, and creative projects to deepen learning 👩👩👧 Parent Handouts → carryover at home to strengthen generalization 📝 Homework → simple reinforcement that extends progress across settings That means you’re not just teaching words—you’re giving students the tools to use them in authentic conversations, across environments. What’s Inside: 60 Weeks of Lessons The collection is divided into 3 sets, each introducing 20 high-frequency, functional words. Together, they provide a full year of systematic instruction. Weeks 1–20 (Set 1 Core Words)Go · Turn · Eat · Come · Put · Help · Not/Don’t · Like · Open · Want · All Done · More · What? · I/You · On · Off · Drink Weeks 21–40 (Set 2 Core Words)Stop · Get · Look/See · Up · Good · Make · Work · In · Who · Read · Different · Bad · Hear/Listen · Take · Do · Again · Wait · Happy · Sick · Out Weeks 41–60 (Set 3 Core Words)All · Little · Where · Big · Silly · Watch · Sad · Some · Down · Dirty · Clean · Feel · Give · Fast · Slow · That · When · Ready · Away · All Gone Back-to-School Special 🎒 For a limited time, you can get the Complete AAC Core Word Builder Collection—60 weeks of structured, research-based lessons—for just $149 (save $30). That’s everything you need to start the year strong with a full school year (and more) of engaging, expert-designed AAC instruction. Because when core words are taught in context, they don’t just stay on a page—they unlock the world.

A playbook for educators, families, and support staff working toward the same goals. We’ve all been in that moment: the IEP looks solid, the plans are in place, everyone is trying their best… and still, the supports aren’t working. It’s frustrating, exhausting, and it leaves students struggling. Pathway to Support changes that. Written by a cross-disciplinary team of experts — an SLP, an OT, a special educator, and a district leader — this guide bridges classroom practice, therapy strategies, and system-level insight. The result? A practical, people-centered handbook that shows how to make support work in real life, across every role on the team. Inside You’ll Find 📖 Real classroom case studies that show what works (and how to adjust when it doesn’t) 🧘 Sensory strategies that help students feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn 🗣️ Accessible communication tools for students across different learners and contexts 😮💨 A 3-step plan (Regulate → Connect → Plan) to guide students back to calm during big emotions 📝 Accommodations in action — practical examples that make a real impact 📊 SMARTIE goal templates that simplify documentation and keep progress clear 🤝 Collaboration tools to keep your team aligned and working toward the same goals ❤️ Support for you — reassurance and perspective for the emotional side of this work Trusted Voices, Fresh Perspectives Written by 👩🏫 Meg Mott, M.S., CCC-SLP (author of The Neurodiversity Affirming Handbook and Navigating Neurodiversity), 👨💼 Eric Oxford, Ed.D. (district leader in special education), 👩⚕️ Tami Santisteban, M.S., OTR/L (school-based OT), and 👩🎓 Filiz Zeybek, Ed.D. (special educator and instructional designer). Together, they combine proven AdaptEd expertise with fresh, field-tested perspectives.

Feel more comfortable being yourself: notice how masking shows up and reduce the stress of constantly “performing.” Understand your identity: what diagnosis or self-identification can mean for you—both paths are valid.
