NEW ARRIVALS

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.
