This webinar will aim to align core vocabulary with typical language development through
understanding when the words on seven core vocabulary lists emerge in typical language
development. Further, we will discuss strategies that SLPs typically use to predict and select
vocabulary for early symbolic communicators who use AAC. Finally, we will discuss vocabulary
prediction for early symbolic communicators who use AAC. In each of these studies, we will attempt
to describe the role of core vocabulary, align findings with language development, and discuss the
clinical implications of the findings.
