Nurture your child’s voice with this free bundle of core language visuals and song boards—perfect for modeling AAC core words through songs designed to support language.
If your child has a speech delay, you may have heard about core vocab—the small but mighty words we use all day long (like go, stop, on, off, in, out, more, all done). These are the foundation of AAC core words—and now you can model them in a simple, natural way through music.
This free resource includes two powerful tools:
Core word symbols for each First Words Dance Party song, featuring the high-frequency core vocabulary words that are modeled in the lyrics. From yes and no in The Cookie Song to I and want in What I Want, these visual core symbols make language accessible.
Song boards that invite your child to make choices and requests, giving them the ability to self-advocate. This includes a short tutorial video that walks you through how to use the song boards successfully with your child, no matter their skill level.
Every First Words Dance Party song is written to target core word vocabulary, making them a powerful musical tool for supporting language development. Whether you’re just beginning to explore AAC, or you’re already using core vocabulary for AAC, this bundle offers a fun, functional way to model core words for AAC users through music, movement, and modeling.
