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.
