Language Acquisition through Motor Planning: Foundations of the Therapeutic Approach
LAMP is an augmentative alternative communication (AAC) approach designed to give individuals who are nonverbal a method of independently and spontaneously expressing themselves through a speech generating device. This course will cover the components of LAMP: readiness to learn, engaging the learner through joint engagement, and learning language through a unique and consistent motor plan paired with an auditory signal and a natural consequence. Discussion will include how this approach addresses the core language deficits of autism, device features that are beneficial to teaching language, and how to use those features to implement LAMP components. Videos will be used to illustrate the treatment components.
PRCs language systems and devices will be used to illustrate treatment components; however, LAMP principles can be applied to other products. Due to the limited duration of this course, hands-on time with devices will be limited to breaks.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Define the role of readiness to learn and shared focus in the implementation of AAC with children with ASD.
2. Explain the importance of using motor patterning to develop motor automaticity for children with ASD who use AAC.
3. Examine multisensory convergence and the implications of how interference in this system disrupts speech and language development.
4. Discuss implementation strategies for teaching children with ASD to use AAC.
5. Discuss strategies for analyzing the efficacy of communication treatment.
