Coach to Communicate Lab
The purpose of the Coach 2 Communicate (C2C) lab is to investigate the use of communication interventions, especially augmentative and alternative communication, to improve communication in autistic and intellectually/developmentally disabled people of all ages, including via telepractice approaches. The lab’s research involves engaging family members, and other natural communication partners, in eliciting new communication skills for this population. Families from minoritized backgrounds have been included in this work. This lab provides research and scholarly opportunities for students in special education, communication disorders, and related disciplines. School districts, other direct service providers, and caregivers who are interested in this work are invited to contact us.
