CSUF Comprehensives

You must be able to demonstrate competency in "modalities of communication" in order to be approved by the American Speech Language Hearing Association.  You will write answers to these questions during the 14th week of the semester during one class session.  Click here for the questions.

We will study the same components of Augmentative and Alternative Communication that are listed in the KASA questions--using nonverbal and verbal communication, language function, symbols, access methods, importance of support and interaction, literacy, and optimal learning environments.  Each of these components contributes to overall AAC success.  Each of these components apply to the AAC user and his/her communication partners.
