Despite sounding like Lunchlady Doris from the Simpsons and zoning in and out of consciousness, Rob does his best to attend to Jackie and Diana\'s review of articles about augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). \\xa0Whether using picture exchange or a speech-generating device, there\'s a lot to learn about how practitioners can improve the communication and vocalizations of clients using AAC. \\xa0Plus, the proper nomenclature when discussing PECS, echoics in the face of outrageous accents, using "all done" to end a showtune review, and how to mand for the popcorn that\'s across the table. \\xa0I think I got it. \\xa0Just play the episode again, I wasn\'t listening.

Special shout-out to Kate Ahern and her website, Teaching Learners With Multiple Special Needs\\xa0for the amazing Periodic Table of AAC image in the episode thumbnail and in the post body below, as well as for being a great resource for special education technology news.
