AAC Core Word Builder: Complete Bundle | 60 Weeks of No-Prep Speech Therapy Lessons | Sets 1-3
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.

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 1–20
The 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 21–40
Building 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 41–60
Completing 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.
