Language Acquisition Through Motor Planning (LAMP) is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) approach designed to give individuals who are non-verbal or have limited verbal abilities a method of independently and spontaneously expressing themselves through the use of a voice output communication device. LAMP was initially developed to give non-verbal individuals with autism a means of communication but can be adapted to benefit individuals with a variety of disabilities.
Topics to be covered include:
•The 5 components of LAMP: readiness to learn, joint engagement, and pairing a unique and consistent motor plan with auditory output and a natural response
•The role of motor learning in language development and AAC fluency
•Device features that support implementation
•Choosing and teaching vocabulary
•Introduction to the Words for Life AAC iPad app and vocabulary file for PRC devices
