Teaching Early Language & Literacy through Multimodal Expression (TELL ME) is a program from Carol Zangari and Lori Wise that is designed for use with students with limited oral language and those children who use or would benefit from augmentative & alternative communication (AAC). It blends information from special education and speech-language pathology to integrate literacy into planned lessons, classroom activities, and daily routines. It focuses on high frequency vocabulary and infuses AAC learning throughout the day. 
Literacy skills are vital for participation in today's society but more than 90% of individuals with complex needs enter adulthood without literacy skills. Come and learn how to intervene early and change this trend!
