Abstract

The aim of this work plan is to develop digital teaching material for students with complex communication needs, in the literacy phase, which includes the use of pictograms, based on the precepts of Augmentative and Alternative Communication. To this end, pictograms from the Aragonese Center of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ARASAAC) will be used to build an accessible narrative that stimulates literacy skills such as: phonological awareness, knowledge of phonemes, verbal fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.)
