The LAMP Words for Life Vocabulary is a popular option for a variety of reasons! Originally developed to work within the LAMP approach, the vocabulary draws on some of the principles and evidence base, resulting in a vocabulary which allows you to say whatever you want – as quickly and efficiently as possible!
First glances at LAMP WFL
When first introducing people to LAMP WFL we can often be met with a little uncertainty – the home page can look a little overwhelming and the organisational structure of the vocabulary can leave people feeling anxious. BUT DON’T FEAR!!! What seems like a complicated system is actually a super-simple system governed by some simple rules, which, once learned, will open up this amazing vocabulary before your eyes.
Learning LAMP WFL
One of the best ways to get to grips with LAMP WFL is to book a virtual training session with your Regional Consultant who can go through the vocabulary in real time. If you prefer self-directed learning though, you may benefit from the LAMP WFL Vocabulary Workbook.
This self-directed workbook explores the rules behind the vocabulary, with practice examples and simple activities designed to get you using the vocabulary. You can also follow an accompanying video whilst you complete the book for examples of the rules in action.
Teaching others to learn LAMP WFL
If you also need to teach others to learn LAMP WFL then the workbook will be your new best friend! For a simple training session, give each attendee a copy of the workbook, show the video and work alongside it! Simple to set up and all planned out for you!
Further learning in LAMP WFL
Once familiar with the vocabulary you may also wish to learn about how to edit the vocabulary or utilise the useful tools mentioned in the workbook. You can either book a place on one of our free LAMP WFL on iOS sessions (if using the iOS app) or, book a free virtual session with your Regional AAC Consultant.
