TEACHING AAC

 

I am working with a lot of students who are using an AAC. 2 years ago I didn't have one kid on my caseload and knew nothing about AAC's - I had to learn, and I had to learn quickly. And not only did I have to learn I had to learn how to teach others to implement it- no pressure :)

 

I found this excellent resource that supports me and the staff of the students I serve in a comprehensive step by step toolkit that hits on all of the critical areas!

 

1) AAC Basics

 

2) ACCESS

 

3) MODELING

 

4) CORE VOCABULARY

 

5) COMMUNICATION OPPORTUNITIES

 

This pack is filled with challenges, ideas on monthly core words, the list goes on. It is everything you need!

It's great! I highly recommend :)

CVC Center

 

Hey Guys! 
Need a quick, easy center to get you through the last bit of the year?

CVC Words center: students will LOVE that provides a lot of CVC word reading practice!
Students choose a CVC card and then they

• segment it,
• talk about the beginning sound,
• produce a rhyming word,
• write it and then
• build it
• vocabulary- use it to introduce new vocabulary

So many skills in one- to target language skills you can talk about the category name of the item, label its parts, name things that are associated with it.. the possibilities are endless!
There are CVC words included, but you can also add your own, or use non-sense words.
