Core Vocabulary
Supporting Individual Access to the Universal Core Facilitated Materials
by Center for Literacy and Disability Studies, Department of Health Sciences, UNC-Chapel Hill
This module is part of a group and emphasizes the importance of individual core vocabulary systems and gives guidance for determining the format of the display. Facilitator guides and full documentation of the trainings make them perfect for professional development of instructional assistants or others working with these students.
The Speech without Limits YouTube channel is a great source for ideas about how to use target core vocabulary across the day. Each video is short (about 2 minutes) and focuses on a single core word. You’ll see examples of activities and hear how you can word things differently to incorporate the use of the target word more often..
