Core vocabulary expands communication beyond naming objects. By pairing core words with fringe vocabulary, communicators can comment, describe, request, express opinions, and talk about actions. For example: play ball, get on base, big tent, small campfire, get in/out of sleeping bag, I like it, I don’t like it, and do more. Let's Teach Core supports communicators in learning how to use core vocabulary for a variety of communication purposes. Each handout provides guidance on introducing and modeling a core word, what to expect as language develops, and ways to expand communication. You'll also find engaging activity ideas that help AAC learners use core vocabulary to comment, request, describe, ask questions, and share their thoughts across everyday experiences.
