The UK based Angelman Syndrome Support, Education & Research Trust (ASSERT) is creating a series of films to help explain what Angelman Syndrome is, how it occurs and how it effects daily life. This film is the sixth in the series, we hope it helps raise awareness, supports families effected by Angelman Syndrome and also helps all people who wish to learn more about AAC.
Communication Part One offers an overview of what it might be like to communicate with somebody that has Angelman Syndrome. It briefly covers the various types of communication methods such as PODD books or Proloquo2go. Families give an insight into their experiences and Professionals advise on what to expect moving forward. The film highlights that individuals communicate in various ways and at different levels of interaction.
Alternative and Augmentative Communication is a very important part of life with Angelman Syndrome. This film, 'Starting AAC', offers an introduction on how to begin using AAC to communicate with somebody that has Angelman Syndrome. It looks into what kind of language should be used and what you might expect to find at the beginning. The professionals in this film offer their knowledge and tips to help prepare families and carers ready for starting to use AAC.
