This is another 5-senses activity. We did 10 different materials, ranging from feathers to sandpaper and everything in between. We had the kids feel each piece of material and then had them glue them onto the hands. We asked the kids to describe the material and what if felt like to them. I LOVE the answers that we got from some of the kids. My own little girl, had some that made me crack up. The sandpaper felt like Poppa's face, the fake leather felt like a couch and one of them felt like her dog Brody. It was fun to hear their answers. Fabric stores are great to look for material for this project. A remnant can go a long way when your talking about 1 inch pieces. Also look at the craft supplies and hardware stores. We used sponges and Brillo pads, the possibilities are endless.

The question I probably get asked the most is, “Where do I start?” Teachers, SLPs, and parents don’t always know what to do with the new aac system their child/student has been given. As SLPs we know that you can’t just put the book or device in front of the student and expect them to just begin it use it. Communication for these students is a skill that needs to be specifically and directly taught. Language needs to have a context. Usually it is a context that involves more than just the aac user. Communication is interactive. If you listen to Janice Light talk about what students need, she lists social closeness, information transfer, social etiquette, and wants and needs. For many of our students, the focus starts out on wants and needs and often doesn’t get much further. In school, on the other hand, we start to spend a lot of time on information transfer - answering the questions posed by the curriculum. But, Light puts social closeness at the top of the list. Isn’t that what communication is all about? We teach conversational skills because it is so important to connect with those around us. We need to be able to share experiences, feelings, and more. Many of my teens who use aac love to joke. Telling jokes (or trying to) is their way of establishing that closeness. As students move into school, the time and effort spent on establishing social communication grows. We spend time teaching students to engage in eye contact, to smile at others, and to participate in activities. For them to do the latter, they need a way to communicate what they want to say to others. So, where do we start? We start with the student. What engages him? What do we say when we are engaged with him? What are the things he wants to or might want to say? Take a look at the activities in which he wants or needs to interact and begin to build the vocabulary for that activity. Not just the names of things involved; but comments - both positive and negative, actions, and descriptions. Provide those words in his mode of communication (usually this means his aac device or communication book), and you use them. The more you model using the symbols or signs for the words involved in that activity the faster he will learn. As the student begins to use the system, acknowledge, reinforce, and expand on what he says. Offer choices as often as possible. Ask open ended questions rather than yes/no. Model use of those action and descriptive words consistently. Make sure you are not overwhelming the student with too much language, but keep your language a step or 2 above his. Don’t talk so much. Pause in interactions to wait for a response. Assume that he can and will respond. Overall, make sure you are providing sufficient vocabulary, sufficient models of a wide variety of communication purposes, and constant access to the system. I often tell SLPs, teachers, and parents that they are going to do the same things they do with their other kids/students. Just add pictures to your communication mode. Where do we start? Start with the student. A couple of weeks ago I posted a free core word communication board. I have also posted boards for use in the library, the motor lab, and at snack time. All of those boards are based on use of core vocabulary; adding additional vocabulary needed in that context. If you are building boards or pages for activities, make sure that core vocabulary words are available, and focus on those. Today I am adding a slightly different core word board for you to use. How do you engage your student?

This game board was a sample from my full Let's Learn About Pronouns Language Unit. It is currently being revised to include gender inclusive language. This download includes the small version of my game board (there is a full file folder size included in the full unit). To play: Use a die and any kind of small toy or object as a game piece. The student will roll the die and move their game piece that many spaces. The student will say a sentence about the picture on the space. I use the prompt “Who has it?” and the target would be to use the pronoun (she, he, it (for the non persons), or they) and the object that is in the space. For example: “She has a balloon.” There are also “roll again,” “move ahead,” and “go back” spaces for the students to follow (these make the game exciting and last longer!). Please note: Please respect and acknowledge gender inclusive pronouns while using this unit. Students may use and identify the images differently than you and that is ok! I use this for grammar purposes (I have many students who say “him did it” etc…, this unit is not to teach identity pronouns. There is very little prep with this game board! Print, laminate, and use! (Page 3 of the download is the game board!) Have fun with it!
