LAMP is
an augmentative alternative communication (AAC) approach designed to give users
a method of independently and spontaneously expressing themselves through a
speech generating device. This course will cover the components of LAMP:
readiness to learn, engaging the learner through joint engagement, and learning
language through a unique and consistent motor plan paired with an auditory
signal and a natural consequence. Discussion will include how this approach
addresses the core language deficits of autism, device features that are
beneficial to teaching language, and how to use those features to implement
LAMP components.
