Storytime with AAC (For ages 7 & under)

Build your child’s communication skills through Shared Reading! “Storytime with AAC” aims to support families/caregivers of emergent communicators by demonstrating language using AAC Systems, helping children develop a love for reading and building language through shared interaction and connection. This program is conducted by graduate students in the "LISTEN with AAC" training program at Cal State East Bay. Who Can Attend? This program is designed for emergent communicators, ages 7 & under who are learning to communicate using AAC Systems. Open to children of all abilities! Please note that communicating with AAC Systems is usually very slow, and we will pace the story time with this in mind. A parent/caregiver must accompany the child for all the sessions. Due to limited seating, we request only 1 caregiver per child. For questions or additional accommodations, please contact FremontChildrens@aclibrary.org Please note - This program is held at the library when the rest of the library is closed. Please enter into the Fukaya room through the door from the Breezeway. Library staff may take photos, videos, or audio recordings at our events. Please tell us if you do not wish to be photographed, video-recorded, or audio-recorded. We will always respect your requests! An ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter or closed captioning can be provided for this program if requested at least seven (7) days in advance.
