Nonverbal Autism Homeschool enrollment is still open! If you'd like to teach your student how to use Proloquo2Go academically, at home and out in the community, check out the AAC module of my course. Nonverbal Autism Homeschool can be purchased as a complete homeschool curriculum, or ala carte for specific reading or AAC instruction.
