Resources for LAMP™: Core Word of the Week
Core vocabulary refers to the small number of words that make up >70-90% of what we say on a daily basis. Core vocabulary is powerful because it allows communicators to express a wide variety of concepts with a very small number of words relevant across contexts. The LAMP approach emphasizes the use of core vocabulary along with fringe vocabulary that is important to the individual. The ability to produce core words aids in the auditory processing of those core words when listening to others.
This documents provides some activity suggestions for teaching core words to emergent communicators. A visual screen shot illustrating the motor movement to say each targeted core word is provided next to each core word to guide modeling of the motor pattern.
