Aided language modeling: adult models how to use the individual's communication board/AAC
system by actually pointing to/selecting symbols to represent words being read from the text
Learning how to use aided language modeling during reading activities using strategies; either of
the strategies could be used although in the research the RAA strategy was used primarily to
model and elicit single symbol responses whereas RAAP strategy was used primarily to model
and elicit multi-symbol response. You can use either of these strategies but prompts may be
needed for some children.
* RAA: using the read-ask-answer strategy to elicit single symbol responses on the AAC
system
* RAAP: using the read-ask-answer-prompt strategy to elicit single symbol or multisymbol
responses on the AAC system
