First Bridge School is excited to announce our FREE webinar: “Building Communication: How ABA and AAC Work Together“.

For children who are non-speaking or have limited verbal language, finding the right support for communication can feel overwhelming, whether you are a parent, SENCo, or early years practitioner.

This webinar explores how Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) can work together to give children meaningful ways to express themselves, from gestures and visuals to communication devices and signs.

You will learn:

  • What AAC really is and why it matters for all forms of communication
  • How ABA strategies support the consistent, functional use of AAC
  • What meaningful progress can look like for different learners
  • How to create a communication-rich environment at home or in the classroom

Whether you are supporting a child just beginning their communication journey or looking to strengthen what is already in place, this session offers practical insights and tools rooted in evidence-based practice.

Join us to build a deeper understanding and help the children in your care find their voice.

This webinar is ideal for:

    • Early Years Practitioners & Educators
    • SENCOs & Inclusion Leads
    • Childcare Providers
    • Health Visitors & Allied Health Professionals
    • Parents and Carers interested in child development
    • Local Authority and SEND professionals

    Join us online on Thursday, July 30th at 6 pm!
