practice has informed Australian studies and international research, to provide an increasing evidence base for the benefits of LAMP. This workshop will introduce participants to the five key components of the LAMP approach: readiness to learn, joint engagement, consistent and unique motor patterns, auditory signals and natural consequences. The presenters will describe how the overall goal of language development is targeted through these components, with practical strategies for implementation. Current research and case studies will be presented, and participants will be introduced to the growing body of evidence for this therapy approach. Participants should have an interest in AAC, but prior knowledge of LAMP or other methods is not required. As more SLPs broaden their scope of practice to support people who use AAC, there is increasing need for access to information about evidence-based interventions. By staying informed of the current approaches to AAC, SLPs are supported to choose the most appropriate methods and tools for their clients. This workshop aims to introduce SLPs to one such method. Introduction/rationale: This 1.5 hour workshop will provide participants with an overview of the LAMP approach to AAC. Participants will learn about the five key components of the approach, review the increasing evidence base for LAMP, and discuss strategies for implementation. Objectives: The presenters will introduce participants to the key components of the LAMP approach. Strategies for implementation will be presented through discussions, videos and hands-on activities. An overview of the research and a selection of case studies will be presented. Results or practice implications: Many SLPs are extending their scope of practice to work with people who communicate using AAC. An awareness of various implementation approaches is critical to ensuring selection of the most appropriate intervention/s for the individual. This workshop will support SLPs to explore whether the LAMP approach may be suitable for their clients. Learning outcomes: • Identify the five key components of the LAMP approach • Understand the role of readiness to learn and joint engagement in language intervention

M2A What is LAMP TM ? An introduction

to Language Acquisition through Motor Planning, an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) approach (W)

Merryn Gibson, Leanna Fox Liberator Pty Ltd, Sydney, NSW, Australia

Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP) is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) approach based on neurological and motor learning principles. It is designed to give individuals with little or no speech a method to express themselves independently and spontaneously using a speech-generating device. The approach was developed out of the clinical practices of John Halloran (MS, CCC-SLP), Cindy Halloran (OTR/L) and Mia Emerson (MS, CCC-SLP). Their clinical
