"Today we're back with the 2nd Year of Core Words, this time with 16 words/month. If you follow along, you'll have covered 192 new core words by the end. Once again, we created 12 grids of core vocabulary words - one for each month of the year. Each grid has 16 cells labeled with core words. Plug in the AAC symbols that your client uses (e.g., PCS, SmartySymbols, Unity, Pixons, etc.), print, laminate, and keep them handy. Feel free to adapt the grids with other core words, if you wish, or do anything else that makes them more useful in your work"
