Blackstone, S., Wilkinson, K., Na, J., & Thistle, J. (November 16, 2013). Supporting the Development of Emotional Competencies in Children With Complex Communication Needs (CCN). Seminar at ASHA in Chicago, IL.
Abstract:
Emotional competence is intricately linked to effective social and communication competence. Children with communication challenges face significant barriers in these areas. However, AAC practitioners currently have no evidence-based guidelines to support the emotional development of children with communication challenges. This session offers a framework and preliminary guidelines and strategies.
Learner Outcomes:
Learner Outcome 1: Discuss a framework they can use to address the development of emotional competence in children and adolescents with CCN
Learner Outcome 2: Use the draft of an observation/interview tool designed to focus attention on the development of emotional competencies in children with CCN
Learner Outcome 3: List at least four strategies they can use with a child with CCN to systematically support the development of emotional development
