This is often the case when we think about providing positive communication support for people who use AAC. When we know what will help an individual to get their message across successfully, both communication partners feel more comfortable and messages are given and received more easily. This month we are featuring information about Communication Passports: a great way to share information about a person's communication profile. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span face="">What is it?</span></b><br />
<br />
<span face="">A Communication Passport is a visually interesting and informative book (or booklet, flyer, place mat, etc.) that highlights information about a person's personality, likes & dislikes, communication strengths and needs. It is a way of presenting information that can be crucial in supporting successful interactions between a person who has difficulty communicating and their communication partners. </span><br />
<span face=""><br /></span>
<span face="">A Communication Passport is one of the communication tools that is described in the You Tube video entitled "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr3bw1LAdTE" target="_blank"><b>Knowing Me: Communication Tools for Transition</b></a>". </span><br />
<br />
<b><span face="">Why is it important? </span></b><br />
<br />
<span face="">Children and adults who have complex communication needs may express themselves in a wide variety of ways, not necessarily using speech or other more conventional methods of communication. Some of our students use very specific methods to communicate, perhaps including some subtle body movements or gestures that might be easily missed when you don't know quite what you are looking for. A <b>Communication Passport</b> can help you get to know exactly how a person communicates and how you can help. </span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gpP1uoqffpk/VTfPOH_C8vI/AAAAAAAACKs/tJCXMAhaQ6M/s1600/people.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gpP1uoqffpk/VTfPOH_C8vI/AAAAAAAACKs/tJCXMAhaQ6M/s1600/people.bmp" /></a><span face=""><b>Who is it for?</b> </span><br />
<br />
<span face="">A Communication Passport is intended to get the basics about how best to support a person's communication to those who need it. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pIm0Mp6MqMo/VTfPL5xeKmI/AAAAAAAACLQ/KH6S2jwADk8/s1600/couselor.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pIm0Mp6MqMo/VTfPL5xeKmI/AAAAAAAACLQ/KH6S2jwADk8/s1600/couselor.bmp" /></a></div>
<span face=""><b>Anyone who is new </b>in your student's life: a substitute teacher, a new educational assistant, respite workers, summer camp counselors. These people often have limited time to get to know an individual who uses AAC. A Communication Passport can help them to understand the basics that might make interactions more successful. Highlight the most important pages in the passport that you want these people to read. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face=""><b><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NpL070eOLJQ/VTfPMyES49I/AAAAAAAACKY/3IWhDFpZ9qc/s1600/hairdresser.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NpL070eOLJQ/VTfPMyES49I/AAAAAAAACKY/3IWhDFpZ9qc/s1600/hairdresser.bmp" /></a></b></span></div>
<br />
<span face=""><b>People you meet infrequently:</b> doctors, dentists, hairdressers, the specialist who is coming to complete an assessment. Sharing information with these people quickly and easily may help to make these "special events" in a person's life more positive and successful. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span face=""><b>Peers, classmates</b>: sharing information that can promote positive communication experiences with peers is so important for our students. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VBrTWsXAeW0/VTfPOhTUuWI/AAAAAAAACK0/5x3AmivLYBY/s1600/read.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VBrTWsXAeW0/VTfPOhTUuWI/AAAAAAAACK0/5x3AmivLYBY/s1600/read.bmp" /></a></div>
<br />
<span face=""><b>Extended family members:</b> grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who do not have a lot of experience with interacting with someone who uses an alternative form of communication may benefit from the additional information that is captured in these documents. It can serve as a reminder when grandparents come to baby-sit. Or as a way to introduce a few tips to make communication more successful during a family occasion. <b><br /></b></span><br />
<br />
<span face=""><b>Where to keep it:</b></span><br />
<br />
<span face="">If you put in the effort to make a communication passport, you want people to read it. You want to make sure that it is visible and handy for everyone to read when they have a few minutes to do so. Keep a communication book where it is needed - hang it on the back of a wheelchair where others can see it. Make the cover interesting and add a message that invites others to look inside. Think about letting others know that the book is new and invite them to come and take a look. </span><br />
<span face=""><br /></span>
<span face="">Consider the content of what's contained inside the book. Whenever possible, involve the person you are making the book for, so that he or she knows what is included and is happy to share that information with others. Keep privacy issues in mind when sharing information about personal needs or any topics of a sensitive nature. <b><br /></b></span><br />
<br />
<span face=""><b>Make it personal: </b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face=""><b><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0skINfsg8Tw/VTfPMgyIqeI/AAAAAAAACLI/cggZssxEsVI/s1600/excited.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0skINfsg8Tw/VTfPMgyIqeI/AAAAAAAACLI/cggZssxEsVI/s1600/excited.bmp" /></a></b></span></div>
<br />
<span face="">Let's be honest, reading a report about someone's communication abilities and needs can be pretty dull, no matter how important the information contained within it. A Communication Passport is not a formal document. It should scream "Read Me!". People who notice it hanging off the back of a chair should be intrigues and curious and itching to open the cover. You can show some of the individual's personality throughout this book. Create a funky cover, add photographs and quotes. Make it something to be proud of and something that others really want to read.</span><br />

<br />
<span face="">There is a lot of information online that will help you to create a passport for your child or family member. If you need some support, a Speech and Language Pathologist may be able to work with you. Sometimes you may find that someone in your child's class can lend a hand - this may be something that a DSW student can work on during a placement at the school. Not only will it allow that person to get to know your child, but may give them an opportunity to learn about a resource that may be helpful to them throughout their career. Think about involving your child's siblings or peers when pulling the information together to put into a passport. Sometimes peers look at things differently and they may have interesting insights about what's important to your child. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span face="">Updating: </span></b><br />
<span face="">People change and passports need to change too, to reflect what's different. This is one good reason to keep a passport simple and to keep a back up copy that can be edited easily. Think about a way of putting your passport together that will allow you to change a single page at a time, rather than changing a whole book. Give yourself a deadline for updating the book each year, perhaps before school starts up again in September. </span><br />

<span face=""><b> </b> </span><br />
<span face=""><b>Emergency situations</b> call for very specific information that can be found and used quickly and efficiently. This is not the time to be reading through a book of personal details, it is a time for the basics in an instant. </span><br />
<span face="">Here's a description of the Communication Passport for A&E resource from <a href="http://praacticalaac.org/praactical/before-its-too-late-a-praactical-resource-for-emergency-situations/" target="_blank">Praactical AAC</a>:<br />
"This<a href="http://www.widgit.com/resources/health/a_and_e/index.htm" target="_blank"> Communication Passport</a> is designed to give important information
about a person who uses AAC to healthcare professionals and first
responders in case of accident or emergency. It uses a stoplight
metaphor to guide the partner through important information, such as
emergency contacts, health conditions, medications, how the person takes
their medication, how to communicate with the person, and more."</span><br />
<span face="">The template is free to download. </span></p><p><span face=""><b><a href="http://flfcic.fmhi.usf.edu/docs/FCIC_Health_Passport_Form_Typeable_English.pdf" target="_blank">My Health Passport</a> </b>- This passport has important information that allows health professionals to best support someone with complex communication needs while they are visiting a hospital or clinic. </span></p><p><span face=""><a href="http://www.specialneedsjungle.com/one-page-profile-can-improve-special-needs-childs-life/" target="_blank"><b>Page Profiles</b></a><b> </b>are documents that summarize the supports that a person needs in order to participate to their full potential. Again, a quick and easy way to share information that might just make an experience successful. Typically, one page profiles contain 3 sections:</span><br />
</p><ol>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""><b><i>‘Appreciation’</i></b> – what people appreciate about the person, their character, gifts and talents</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""><b><i>‘What is important to’ </i></b>– what matters to them, from their perspective, about school and life</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""><b><i>‘How to support’</i></b> – the ‘expertise’ from family,
teachers and others about how to get the best out of the person </span></span></li>
</ol>
<span face="">Examples of One Page Profiles and templates are included <a href="https://onepageprofiles.wordpress.com/create-you-own-one-page-profile/" target="_blank">here</a>. There are also links to other resources, including You Tube videos of what to consider when creating a one page profile. <b><br /></b></span><br />

<span face=""><b>Keeping it simple</b></span><br />

<span face=""> </span><br />
<span face="">A Communication Passport does not have to be printed in colour, laminated and bound professionally. While we often want the finished product to be something that the user can be proud of, there are situations where sharing the information any way that we can is the most important thing. Here's an example of a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whCNPDr7vIg" target="_blank"><b>project in Ghana</b></a> , where Communication Passports were made with paper, pen and glue. </span><br />

<![endif]--><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We start talking to our children the day they are born, even
though we know that we are not going to hear a “word” back from them for some
time to come. Research suggests that the
average 18 month old has been exposed to over 4,380 hours of oral language –
about 8 hours each day. Jane Korsten (Speech Language Pathologist) did the math
to demonstrate that if we <u>only</u> provide speech and language therapy
sessions two times per week for a child who has a communication system, it will
take <b>84 years</b> to reach the same amount of language exposure. If we are going to
successfully teach a child how to use symbols, we are going to need to do a
little more than that weekly therapy. Luckily, there are lots of things that we
can do to help support a child’s communication development.</span></span><br />

“in action”. Having others use the same AAC system to communicate allows our
students to make connections between symbols and their meanings; shows them how
to find symbols; how to put words together to make sentences; how to add word
endings … They need to see it happen in order to do it themselves. On the flip
side, modeling use of an AAC system also gives us a little bit of insight into what it
takes to learn and use a system effectively. The only way to become proficient in using a
personal communication display or speech generating device is to use it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Communication opportunities happen all around us, throughout
the day. Children learn best when they are motivated and having fun – don’t we
all? Any play activity is a chance to show your child how language can be used
for a purpose. Identify your child’s
<b>preferences</b> in order to motivate him to use his communication skills in an
activity. </span></span></div>

lead:</b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As adults we sometimes like to have a plan. As parents or
teachers or communication partners, we know that sometimes we have to throw
that plan away and follow where our child might take us. Perhaps we thought we
were going to play cars this afternoon, but if my child is fascinated with the
bubbles in the washing up bowl, maybe we’ll talk about those instead. “Bubbles! I see bubbles! More bubbles! Bubbles go up.”</span><b> </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Observe, Wait & Listen: </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another key consideration from Hanen is to <b>Observe</b>, <b>Wait </b>and <b>Listen </b>(OWL). Here is their description of how this benefits a child engaged in playing with playdough: </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span class="ArticleText" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">Observe</span></b><span class="ArticleText" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
– your child and see what she does. Observe silently, really watching
to see what she is doing with the playdough. Often, children don’t begin
with an idea of what to do with the playdough. They manipulate it and
when it starts to look like something they recognize, they may then
start to turn it into something specific. To give your child time to
come up with her own ideas, just observe without speaking, suggesting or
instructing her.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span class="ArticleText" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">Wait </span></b><span class="ArticleText" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">–
sit quietly and avoid showing your child things she could do with the
playdough. Just squeeze or roll your own playdough slowly. Your goal is
to give your child an opportunity to do what SHE wants to do FIRST.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span class="ArticleText" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">Listen </span></b><span class="ArticleText" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">–
to what she says, without interrupting. If she says something, respond
and show interest, but avoid telling her what to do or try not to ask
questions that test, such as “What are you doing?”, or “What are you
making?” She probably doesn’t know yet - she’s still experimenting!</span><b> </b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Talk using simple
repetitive language:</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Model slowly so that your student can see which vocabulary items you are pointing to and can follow along. Carol Goossens recommends the following guidelines when providing aided language stimulation for children:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span>use
primarily single words (symbols) and short grammatically correct phrases
(symbol phrases) to talk about what the child is hearing, seeing, doing and
feeling</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">use
lots of repetition as you describe ongoing events (lots of opportunities to practice)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">speak
slowly, inserting numerous pauses into the conversational flow</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">whenever the child indicates something with a single word (symbol),
expand that message into a semantically equivalent two-word (symbol)
combination.</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Model by using one or
two words more than you child is currently using:</b>When using an augmentative communication system to model
language, not every word needs to be selected on the display or device as we
are talking. To teach our students how
to take the next steps, we can keep adding to what we are saying. Start with
one word and when we know that our student can manage that, add on another.
Keep building language one step at a time.<b> </b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Use “think outloud”
strategies:</b></span></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yl_bk2Mxgaw/VRLdZ71yyMI/AAAAAAAACIg/S34DTnSCf9M/s1600/idea.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yl_bk2Mxgaw/VRLdZ71yyMI/AAAAAAAACIg/S34DTnSCf9M/s1600/idea.bmp" /></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When selecting words on a display, it can help to talk through
the process so that your child can follow along. We can share with our students the connections that we make that help us to remember where to find a specific word. Often these connections are made through life experience - our students maybe don't share these connections yet, but we can help them with some explanation as we search for words. "I want to ask for a big cookie, so let's see how I can say 'big'. I think maybe it's here - I see an elephant and he's really BIG. Let's see... yes, there it is: 'big'. I want big cookie!"<b> </b></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When you read the information, this whole process sounds
kind of straightforward… we point to pictures as we talk. Which leads us to
wondering why we are not necessarily seeing <u>everyone </u>modeling language
on communication displays or devices when we walk into classrooms or clinics or
homes… In reality, being able to model language for children using any form of
AAC takes practice. We need to slow down and think about what we are saying. We
need to know where all those symbols are located before we can show our
students where they are. Sometimes, especially for a system with lots of vocabulary,
this means that we need to spend some time learning where the messages are
located ourselves. One way to do this is to make a paper-based copy of what’s
on the student’s system. That way, we
can get to know the communication system better, without having to take it away
from the student.</span></span></div>

everyone starts to point to symbols as they speak, perhaps others will follow
along. Make some extra copies of the core board that is used in your classroom
and throw on a sign that invites others to join in: “Welcome to our classroom.
Grab a board and come talk with us!”</span></span><span style="color: red;"></span></div>

He
has made some HUGE gains since then! Each time his ACS team members see Kasey,
they are blown away at how well he's learned his complex communication system.</span><br />
<br />
<span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"">Kasey attends Senior
Kindergarten at Caradoc Public School in Mount Brydges. With the help of
his school team and parents, Kasey continues to grow his vocabulary and learn
how his words are organized. He has had alot of change in terms of school
staff who support him but this hasn't impeded his ability to learn how to
communicate with his device! His school supports have been encouraging Kasey
to use his device throughout his day including during music class, carpet time,
calendar and weather time, centre activities, snack, and gym time. Kasey even
uses his device during the "before and after school" program to
communicate while he's eating a snack, playing games, and participating in
spelling activities. </span><br />

that he has all the words that he needs by programming in relevant items,
activities, places, and people. She also created some new pages in his
user that allow him to participate in literacy activities at school such as his
Word Wall page and a book reading page. Kasey uses his device with his
parents at home during a variety of activities such as snack, games and
reading. His parents are great at modeling words on his device for him
and encouraging Kasey to respond using his device. <b><span style="color: red;">It's wonderful to see school and home teams who are so

in the fall of 2013. In addition to learning how to program her child's
device Lili participated in a <i><u>Partner Strategies in Augmentative and
Alternative Communication (AAC)</u></i> parent workshop to learn more about
using the device to expand her daughter's communication in everyday
situations. Another goal from the group was to learn strategies to teach
other communication partners how to integrate the device into their
interactions with Ava. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Lili has been an
incredible advocate for her daughter and the world of AAC, leading
presentations to Ava's class yearly to share the strategies she has learned and
to answer questions students have about Ava's communication. As part of Autism Awareness Month this past April, Lili gave 8 presentations to students
at St Jude's Catholic School in Ingersoll from Kindergarten to Grade 8! She created a presentation to highlight what AAC is and how it relates to Autism
Spectrum Disorders, as well as to her daughter and other students who are non-verbal
use symbols to communicate. As she presented from class to class, students of
all ages were able to try using low-tech or high-tech communication systems to
communicate without using their voices to see what it is like and to ask any
questions they had. She also shared how they can "be a great
friend" - how to talk with and to support a student who uses AAC.
Through Lili's leadership, the community of St Jude's is leading the way in
creating an inclusive environment where students who are non-verbal and their
peers can support each other in their play, conversation and academics. </span><b><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" style="color: red; font-size: 12pt;">Way to go, Lili!!!</span></b><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif""></span></b></span><b><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif""></span></b><br />

Matt is using an iPad with LAMP communication software. Check out this <b><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JmcrfyoP5TQ" target="_blank">video</a></b> of one of Matt’s superstar team
members helping him to read a book using his device! The team included Matt
using his iPad as a goal on his IEP to ensure consistency in supporting his
literacy and face to face communication. Learning and understanding LAMP
is not a simple task but the team dedicated time and effort to learn the
necessary skills to support Matt. None of this would have been possible without
the support of the school administration that provides time for the team to
meet with the ACS clinician to discuss progress and to receive training and
consultation for next steps. </span><br />

Even Matt's peers are in on the action.....see one of them <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">h</a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Peje2EG09fA" target="_blank">ere</a></b>,

lots of opportunities throughout the day to provide Leigha with Aided Language
Stimulation or Modeling. This strategy has been shown to help children develop
language and expand their vocabulary. Jillian is doing a fantastic job! She
models relevant vocabulary during journal. She models core words and food items
during snack and lunchtime. She models colours and clothing during play time.
She models relevant vocabulary while Leigha plays on the iPad. She also models
relevant vocabulary during circle time. Jillian even encourages Leigha's peers
to model vocabulary during play time! Leigha's peers have been very interested
in helping her use symbols since we completed our AAC Awareness Presentation.
They're doing a great job supporting her in the classroom as well!</span> </span><span style="color: red;"> <b>Way to go everyone! Keep up the great work!</b></span></span><br />

Public School. He recently received a device and his school team has been
dedicated to teaching him a complex vocabulary system. Royce is learning to use
Minspeak which is a tricky AAC language to learn. Royce's EAs Michelle and Jen
went above and beyond and created flashcards for core words and other commonly used
words so that Royce could learn how they were represented within Minspeak. Each
flashcard has a word written on one side and the sequence of symbols that need
to be selected to say that word on the other. <b><span style="color: red;">What a
great way to support Royce's learning! Fantastic job!</span> </b></span><br />

<b><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></b><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt;">We would like to thank Jamie’s team for all their
commitment and hard work to be sure he learns to use his communication device.
Jamie uses an iPad with Proloquo2Go and he has become very efficient with it.
Jamie is not just able to let everybody knows his wants and needs, he can also
answer questions and have a nice chat. Jamie is a very communicative young man
with great sense of humor. Having a way to communicate is a key factor when we
talk about integration. His team has the great ability to take the best of him
and turn it into a very pleasant experience.</span></div>

If the student is using <b>one switch</b>, then the choices are automatically highlighted in a timed
sequence and when the desired object is highlighted, the student must
activate their switch to make a selection. If the student is using <b>two switches</b>, they can move between the choices by activating one of their switches, and select the desired option by activating their second switch. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span face="" style="font-size: small;"><span>I</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="">n order for the switches to 'communicate' with the computer, they need to be plugged into some kind of <b>interface</b>. Sometimes the activity is looking for a left mouse-click to perform an action. In this case, a <b>switch-adapted mouse</b> will do the trick! If the software is looking for a different type of input (usually a keystr<span style="background-color: white;">oke of some kind) then a more sophisticated switch interface may be needed,<span face=""> </span>e.g. a <a href="https://www.ablenetinc.com/hitch-2" rel="" target="_blank">Hitch 2</a></span></span></span><span><span style="background-color: white;">, or a <a href="https://www.cricksoft.com/us/crick-usb-switch-box" target="_blank">Crick USB Switch Interface</a>. </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>

There are many great websites that show why reading is important for all of our kids, including those who use AAC. Lots more has been written and talked about related to the importance of literacy, so here are some great websites, suggestions and thoughts on book reading for - and with - our students.</span></span></div>
</div>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Why reading? </b></span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">First and foremost - it's just so much fun! Cuddling up and sharing a book with a child is such a wonderful experience. There are so many book choices available that it is easy to find something that your child will enjoy... and that you will love to read too. Reading is a great leisure activity for home, school, or just about anywhere. </span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vtnRmUis5Ig/T6_GKM4OyoI/AAAAAAAAAvE/y771JzWZu9k/s1600/Library%2B.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vtnRmUis5Ig/T6_GKM4OyoI/AAAAAAAAAvE/y771JzWZu9k/s1600/Library%2B.jpg" /></a><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">It's an activity that you can do over and over and over, even with the same book. There are so many opportunities for practicing communication skills and teaching language with a book. Every time you read a book you can anticipate what is going to happen next, talk about the pictures, think about something in your own life that mirrors what is happening in the book.<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"> It's also an opportunity to </span>learn<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"> </span>new vocabulary<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"> and </span>practic<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">e</span>
finding words on a devic<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">e or communication display</span>. As we read we
can model language that is related to the book, or that mirrors what we
are thinking or feeling as we read. </span></span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g3tpRjs4Rkg/T0487i8lCrI/AAAAAAAAAdM/J-pJKLWmlLM/s1600/symbols.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g3tpRjs4Rkg/T0487i8lCrI/AAAAAAAAAdM/J-pJKLWmlLM/s1600/symbols.bmp" /></a><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">It's a great time to practice turn taking - asking a question about the book, looking for a change in facial expression and responding to it, making a comment and then 'wondering' what the child thinks about it. It's also a wonderful way to broaden our horizons and to learn about things that we may not yet have any life experience with. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Everyone reads!</b></span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Children with complex communication needs may require some extra support to learn literacy skills, but that doesn't mean that we don't try. Here's a quote from <b><a href="http://atclassroom.blogspot.ca/2013/09/aac-and-literacy.html">Glenda's Assistive Technology Information and more...</a></b> that reflects the idea of following the principle of the least dangerous assumption: </span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">"<u>In other words, in order to be good at doing something, you have to start to do it!</u> They will not learn through osmosis. If a child never interacts with print then s/he will never become literate, it's as simple as that. We shouldn't be afraid to engage <i>all </i>children in the world of print. Too often we assume they will not be literate instead of assuming they will learn to be literate. Just knowing, each child will benefit f<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">ro</span>m the experience in their own way will make it all worthwhile. If they learn more than what they thought possible, well isn't that the cherry on top!"</span> </span></span></blockquote>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Are you sitting comfortably? Then we will begin... but what will we read?</b> </span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Research shows that children like to read the same book over 200 times. It can be tricky for our kids who have challenges with movement to go and
fetch a book and they may not be able to ask for the book that they want using speech. Although it can be tempting for adults to pick a different book ("Please, not "Goodnight Moon" again tonight! I'm hearing it in my sleep!"), our kids may want to re-read an old favourite. </span></span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yZz4Ucn1Q2Y/TupcaotuigI/AAAAAAAAATc/7vWXfhK-rgg/s1600/choose.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yZz4Ucn1Q2Y/TupcaotuigI/AAAAAAAAATc/7vWXfhK-rgg/s1600/choose.bmp" /></a><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Give choices of 2 or 3 books that can be picked by pointing (e.g. with a hand or eye gaze). Include a couple of favourites and a new book. Take turns to pick a book and choose the new one every<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"> once in a while. </span>Pretty soon that new one will become the new favourite. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Book covers can be made into symbols: take a photo of the front page, re-size and laminate to add to a book reading comm<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">unication </span>page. <span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">I</span>nclude a "different book" symbol on the page, to allow the opportunity to request a book that isn't included.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Using a device with a larger vocabulary, your child can help to pick the topic of the book - model the possibilities by showing what is available: "we can read a book about an animal, or a book about food - what do you think?"</span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On the <b><a href="https://aaclanguagelab.com/">AAC Language Lab website</a></b>, Kym Heine, Regional Consultant for the Prentke Romich Company</span> </span>shares some thoughts on what to think about when picking a book to read with your child. </span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Some readers may be more motivated to read a little something featuring... themselves! With time and some imagination, it can be pretty straightforward to create some books with repetitive lines that are personalized for your child. </span></span><br />

A change in facial expression or a move to attend to the book might be all you need to respond to your child. "I see that smile. You're right - this is so funny!"

Being able to share with others that "something happened", "something is happening" or that "something will happen" is a great communication strategy for conversation. The repetition in book reading allows for lots of practice in talking about these concepts. Symbols can be used to represent each of the stages. </span></span><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">We don't <u>need</u> a special page of vocabulary to talk about a book. Core vocabulary can be used to chat about what's happening. We just need to think about what type of modeling we are using to encourage communication this way. Asking direct questions such as "tell me the name of the main character" requires that the answer be available somewhere on a communication display. However, asking for more general information - "that wolf is a funny kind of guy don't you think? I wonder what you think about him?" allows a child to use some of the vocabulary that might already be available on a display (big, bad, grumpy, tricky, sad, etc.)</span></span><br />

Page fluffers can help to create an extra bit of space between the pages, to make things just a little easier. </span></span><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">One special
feature of the BTI conference is known as “town hall”. During this part of the
conference people who use AAC are the only ones allowed to express themselves.
The event is always chaired by at least one (sometimes two) people who use AAC
(PWUAAC). The Chairs are responsible for determining topics for discussion.
They send the topics and/or questions out ahead of the conference so that
people can think about and compose messages ahead of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, lots of times the conversation veers
off in different directions as people respond to each other.</span></span></div>

Following the experience staff reported being more aware of the challenges facing their students who rely on AAC each and every day. They also noted that their heightened awareness of some of the challenges has resulted in them changing the way they communicate with their students, for example allowing more time for students to respond.

One thing that we can all do for people who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication, is to give a little more time and attention, and to really <b>listen </b>to what they have to say.</span><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"><b>Are we listening?</b></span><br />
<span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">Sometimes (or maybe often?) we think
we know what our students who use AAC are going to say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We base our assumptions on </span><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">the activity they are
participating in and </span><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">our familiarity with the student's preferences and communication style. It can also be less messy to keep a conversation "on track" rather than to try and work out what someone is actually trying to say. When a student responds with something other than what we were expecting, what do we do? </span><br />
<br />

"Uh oh, you went to the animals page, let's get you back to the days of the week!"</span><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">Do we let them know that they got it wrong: "No, the answer's not guinea pig. It's Tuesday!"</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-399nnbYK1IY/Vg6fMXeIr-I/AAAAAAAACTA/Feex0vX-_rw/s1600/listen.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="170" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-399nnbYK1IY/Vg6fMXeIr-I/AAAAAAAACTA/Feex0vX-_rw/s200/listen.png" width="200" /></a><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">Or do we truly <b>listen</b> to what is said and respond to it accordingly: </span><br />
<span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">"Guinea pig? Did you want to say guinea pig? I wonder if maybe you have a guinea pig at home?" before redirecting back to the activity at hand. </span><br />
<br />
<span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">Our students need opportunities to initiate a conversation or to set a topic rather than just responding when someone asks a question. Our goal for our students is that they be able to say what they want, when they want, to who they want, so we need to honor their attempts to do this, even when it doesn't quite fit with our own plan of what we are talking about. </span><br />
<br />
<span face=""Arial","sans-serif"">Saying exactly what you want to say requires something that is referred to as SNUG or </span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>spontaneous novel utterance
generation</b>. Individuals who create utterances by choosing individual words (core and fringe) from their communication system are more likely to achieve SNUG than those with only pre-programmed phrases and sentences. </span><br />

<span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">Our students often rely on us to <b>give them the time</b> to say what they actually intend to say. We may need to wait for a message to be retrieved. Remember that it</span><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"> takes longer for somebody to
construct a message on an AAC system, particularly if they are building their utterances word by word. It can take even longer, depending on the access method used. A student may have to
search for a message or spell it letter by letter. </span><br />
<br />
<span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">We also need to
teach our kids strategies to slow their communication partners down
and/or help to clarify their messages. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
example, it may be appropriate to provide them with ways to indicate:</span><br />
<div style="margin-left: 39pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">

have something important to say. Can you wait while I get my message
ready?”</span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 39pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">“I
have something to say but it’s not on my board. Can you please ask me yes/no
questions?”</span></div>
<span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">But

gestures and facial expressions) helps to figure out what your child is
interested in. Through observation, you can learn a lot about what the child is
interested in and what they may want to tell you. Notice what your child
is looking at and share the moment. </span></span></div>

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b><u><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Wait</span></u></b><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"> - Waiting gives your child time to start an
interaction or to respond to what you’ve said or done. In this approach, <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">wait<i> </i></span>means <b>stop talking,
lean forward </b>and <b>look at your child expectantly</b>. Waiting in this way
will send the message that you’re ready for them to respond to you or,
better still, to take the lead. Once your child does one of these
things, it’s important for you to respond to them immediately. </span></span></div>

Take care not
to interrupt, even if you’ve already figured out the message. This lets them
know that what is said is important to you and this can help build confidence and
self-esteem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even when you OWL, there
will be times when you cannot understand the child’s message and this can be
frustrating for both of you. At times like these, look at the situation for
clues and guess what they're trying to tell you. If you can’t even begin to
guess the child’s message, imitate the sounds or actions and then wait to see
if they do anything to make the message clearer. You may still not
understand, but it’s important to make the effort. When you do, you let them know that you’re trying your best to understand. </span></span></div>

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">While working on a project recently, we had the opportunity to video
ourselves interacting with a number of our students who use speech generating
devices. Although it can take a great deal of time to review the videos, we can
always learn a lot about how we think we talk and listen, and what the reality
is. Something we noticed when watching our videos is that sometimes we do not take the time to truly listen to what our students are saying. It can be
easy to miss some subtle communication that happens. We may make assumptions
about what we think our students are going to say and find ourselves directing
them back to a different vocabulary page on the device. Sometimes we need to
wait and to listen to what our students are really telling us, even if it turns
out to be not what we were expecting to hear. </span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Try recording yourself interacting with your child and see what your interactions really look like - are you jumping ahead? are you
waiting long enough? are you missing subtle communication? are you making
assumptions? do you talk too much? It can be an eye-opening exercise.</span><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Now for someone who we always like to listen to… Dana Nieder, writing on
the <a href="http://niederfamily.blogspot.ca/2015/09/21-days-of-aac-challenge-whole-thing.html" target="_blank">Uncommon Sense blog</a>. Dana decided to take on her own 21
day challenge: to model language by using her daughter Maya’s AAC system to
communicate. On the blog, Dana provides an overview of what modeling is all
about, why it’s important and her own experiences of trying to model “<b>with
renewed vigor and enthusiasm” </b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">over
21 days. Not only does she share what’s great about modeling, she also talks
about the challenges. The idea of modeling sounds pretty simple, so why don’t </span></span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">we

Maybe it will inspire you to try this yourself!</span></span><a href="http://pemfsite.com/wp-content/uploads/Canada-Flag-Turkey.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" class="irc_mi" height="160" src="http://pemfsite.com/wp-content/uploads/Canada-Flag-Turkey.png" style="margin-top: 80px;" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">On Thanksgiving many of us have the gift of an extra day in the week to be
with our families. During those gatherings, maybe we can take a little time to
talk about the things that we love and how to say thank you to others. We can
model how to do this on a communication board or device. Maybe everyone can
take a turn – a great way for family members and friends to experience what it
is like to use an AAC board or device. And we can all take the time to listen
and learn about what others have to share.</span><div><br />

Kids love to perform! These days there are lots of community theatre camps that give kids of all ages the chance to get up on stage and step into the shoes of another character for a short while. Being part of a stage production creates an opportunity to develop all kinds of skills including increasing confidence and self esteem, learning about team work and knowing how to handle feedback. It's also a great way to make new friends! And most of all, it's about having fun! In London, Ontario, there was a summer theatre camp for kids who use speech generating devices. Our experiences led to many changes over the years - here's an overview of our theatre journey!<br />
<br />
<b>The beginning...</b><br />
Our story began at TVCC in London Ontario, where a Recreational Therapist had the inspiration to plan a theatre experience for some of the youngsters who were using speech generating devices to communicate. The Augmentative Communication Service (ACS) stepped in for technical support (and because it was a lot of fun!) and the dream became a reality. Short plays were performed for delighted families on the stage at the Centre.<i> 'We should do this again'</i> we all thought...<br />
<br />
<b>The Partnership:</b><br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hsSJR5W2ZLg/UQkrJRlYsVI/AAAAAAAABbo/HF9KGFkGPVo/s1600/OKTClogo.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hsSJR5W2ZLg/UQkrJRlYsVI/AAAAAAAABbo/HF9KGFkGPVo/s200/OKTClogo.jpg" width="125" /></a>The following year, a partnership with the local Original Kids Theatre Company was formed. The local theatre was made available for a week in the summer for us to use. The kids had enjoyed performing at TVCC, but this gave them the experience of being in a <u><b>real </b></u>theatre, with access to everything that makes for an authentic experience: the stage, lights, costumes, props, music and sound effects. A group of volunteers was engaged from the Original Kids company. These teens had experience of being with the company over a number of years and some leadership experience. Each year they applied to volunteer at the camps and attended an interview to make sure that this was the right experience for them. <br />
<br />
In the beginning there was one camp, come one, come all. Then we graduated to a morning camp: "Setting the Stage" for actors who were new to the stage or had limited experience using an SGD. These actors needed more support to know when to say their line or where to move to on the stage. Actors who had more experience and who needed less direction attended "On With the Show" in the afternoon. The format for the camp was the same, but there was more emphasis on what the actors could do to enhance their performance - using facial expression, movement, body language. <br />
<br />
<b>Roles & Responsibilities:</b><br />
Our <b>Original Kids</b> were amazing! They committed to completing a long list of tasks that included: writing a play adaptation, organizing props, costumes, music & sound effects, directing the camp on the day of their own play, supporting the actors, learning about AAC and specific AAC strategies that the actors used, making a poster for their play, developing skits, assisting actors with snacks and getting into costumes.... the list goes on, but with the energy these teens had, they made it look almost effortless!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r-FLHKvlIME/VehrFZeujnI/AAAAAAAACOM/tRA-cis6Y-I/s1600/OK%2Bgroup%2Bshot.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r-FLHKvlIME/VehrFZeujnI/AAAAAAAACOM/tRA-cis6Y-I/s200/OK%2Bgroup%2Bshot.jpg" width="200" /></a><p>The Original Kids attended 3 meetings ahead of the camps: one to learn about what was involved and what their responsibilities were, the second to write the plays and the third to learn everything that there was to know about the specific AAC strategies that the actors would be using in the camps (in 2 hours or less...). Each actor was paired with an Original Kid who would set up their device and adapted their own communication to make interactions as successful as possible for the actor. <br />
<br />
<b>TVCC staff</b> attended the camp for clinical/technical back-up purposes. We recruited the actors who wanted to come to camp, and worked with them before hand to ensure that they had all the information that they needed to come prepared. We acknowledged that the actors really loved the opportunity to be acting alongside their peers, the Original Kids. They were often similar in age and had shared tastes in music, activities and experiences. <br />
<br />
<b>Our families</b> created or updated a <a href="http://www.communicationpassports.org.uk/Home/" target="_blank"><b>Communication Passport</b></a> (with help if needed) to share information with the Original Kids about their child's communication abilities and needs. This resource allowed the Original Kids to get the information quickly.</p><p><b>Writing the plays:</b><br />

</tbody></table>
Everybody likes to be the star of the show! To make sure that everyone had their moment in the spotlight, we put on 3 short plays in both camps every year. The Original Kids decided on a theme and each picked a story to adapt. Keeping in mind the number of actors, the scripts were written to ensure that everyone had approximately the same number of lines. Scripts were 2 - 3 pages in length, longer for our more experienced actors, capturing the essence of a favourite children's story or movie. We started with Three Little Kittens. In later years we tackled the likes of Frozen, Indiana Jones and Up! It's amazing what stories you can tell in 3 pages of script! Our scripts were completed ahead of the camps, so that devices could be programmed and our keen actors could practice their lines. It also gave an opportunity to get the book out of the library or watch the movie.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Programming devices:</b><br />
Once upon a time... our actors used simple speech generating devices to say their lines - a device such as a Step by Step is easy to record on and to use, and in a small space is easy to hear. In a larger theatre, the volume needs to be louder and the quality of the recording or the voice needs to be as good as possible. Over the years we saw our actors move to using their own speech generating devices to deliver their play lines. Families took on the responsibility of programming play lines into devices - it was a great opportunity for some families to come to the AAC clinic for a few reminders around programming, if needed. <br />
<br />
<b>"The play's the thing..."</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l8V0NZrrQlE/VfGGizK2ZUI/AAAAAAAACOs/y0yRBUnInWI/s1600/young%2Bjeremy.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l8V0NZrrQlE/VfGGizK2ZUI/AAAAAAAACOs/y0yRBUnInWI/s320/young%2Bjeremy.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
The actors came to the camp for a reason - because they were interested in theatre and wanted to perform. The rehearsal and the performance were times to take on a role, to deliver the lines and to tell a story. It can be tricky to do this in a timely manner, particularly for actors who use alternative access to a device. The play lines were set up to make access as easy as possible - perhaps just having one line of the play on a page, automatically linking to the next line on the next page. The important part was to make sure the actors had fun performing in the play - this was not the time to be practicing access. In between rehearsals the actor's typical access and communication page set up was restored to allow our actors to use their regular vocabulary for 'chit chat'. In addition, core vocabulary and theatre specific vocabulary needed for the activities and games were made available in formats that the actors could use. For example core vocabulary was always available in paper-based format to be used across the whole day.<br />
<br />
<b>The day's events...</b><br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n8w4_FY12uI/VfGUOdspSEI/AAAAAAAACP0/29f1CMP76Oo/s1600/fun.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n8w4_FY12uI/VfGUOdspSEI/AAAAAAAACP0/29f1CMP76Oo/s1600/fun.png" /></a>Each day of camp followed a bit of a routine. One play was introduced and rehearsed each day for the first three days of the week. As it's camp, there was also lots of singing and lots of games. The games and activities were all somehow related to theatre: moving around to learn stage directions ("let's go upstage", "time to move stage right"), a photo shoot on Monday in the costumes from the plays to be performed, "Original Kids Idol" in which they performed and the actors judged, learning to use facial expressions, etc. The activities/games were also sometimes themed around whichever play was being rehearsed that day. <br />
<br />
<b>Sharing the fun...</b><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-djzMegp0wU4/VehoEb1UiLI/AAAAAAAACN4/QeiICfbrFQQ/s1600/journal%2Bcover.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-djzMegp0wU4/VehoEb1UiLI/AAAAAAAACN4/QeiICfbrFQQ/s200/journal%2Bcover.jpg" width="200" /></a>At the end of each half day, each actor reviewed the day's events with the Original Kid who was helping them out. Journals were created with 2 parts: a starter sentence and choices to be selected to talk about the day:<br />
"<b>Today I went to</b><b>...</b>" Setting the Stage/the theatre/camp etc.<br />
"<b>We.</b>.." tried on costumes/sang songs/played games/told jokes/made new friends etc.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2IzkdWqu8CA/VehoEcAr9MI/AAAAAAAACN8/cnwA8nqB-Iw/s1600/journal%2Binside.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2IzkdWqu8CA/VehoEcAr9MI/AAAAAAAACN8/cnwA8nqB-Iw/s200/journal%2Binside.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
"<b>I liked..</b>." playing games/telling jokes/dancing/my snack etc. <br />
"<b>Guess what?</b>" song we sang?/my friend's name is/my costume looks like/I saw etc."<br />
<b>What did you do today?</b>" <br />
<br />
Other actors may have wanted their daily news programmed into their device, to share when they got home. The Original Kids were trained in the basics of programming for their actor's device so that they could work with the actors to get this done.<br />
<br />
<br />
Throughout the week, many <b>photographs </b>were taken to capture the spirit of the camp. The fun of trying on costumes, the freeze dance game, the reactions of the actors to the latest "Idol" offering! By performance day, all the photographs were put into a slide show, that was presented as the audience took their seats before the performance and during the intermission.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>It wouldn't be the theatre without dress rehearsal....</b> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A1GafbMm-WI/VfGtXr-BsqI/AAAAAAAACRc/_kdJEgAXoPI/s1600/masks.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A1GafbMm-WI/VfGtXr-BsqI/AAAAAAAACRc/_kdJEgAXoPI/s200/masks.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
On the fourth day of the camp, lights, music, costumes, props and sound effects were added to the rehearsal of the plays if they hadn't been added already. All three plays were run through in preparation for the final performance!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Staging the performance...</b><br />
Performance day for both camps happened on Friday. After a final sound check, "technology prayer" and with costumes on, "Setting the Stage" began, with the 3 plays performed back to back. Our more experienced actors sat and watched their peers perform, until it was time for "On with the Show" to begin. Then the 2 groups of actors switched places and the audience enjoyed the second half of the show. The theatre was open to anyone who wanted to attend. Usually our seats were full with proud families, school staff and others who knew the actors, but often there were others who just wanted to see what was happening.<br />
<br />
<b>Backing it up:</b><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iJ1Imvx-zA0/VfGu0IPz3WI/AAAAAAAACRo/f-kU0v_zJDs/s1600/device.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iJ1Imvx-zA0/VfGu0IPz3WI/AAAAAAAACRo/f-kU0v_zJDs/s1600/device.jpg" /></a>Call it stage fright, but every year, without fail, someone's device developed an attitude and refused to<br />
co-operate. Usually it happened on dress rehearsal day, or failing that, just before our actors were about to make their entrance onto the stage! Over the years we smartened up considerably, to ensure that we had a back-up ready and waiting throughout the week. Vocabulary back-ups were made, devices were borrowed, shared or alternatives found, just to be sure that our actors would have a voice on the big day. We also brought a tool kit, mounting equipment, visual schedules, core vocabulary boards and anything else that we could think of, with the thought that the one thing that we didn't bring, would likely be the one thing we needed.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BldWTal2mlo/UAgbssYOsRI/AAAAAAAAA-8/NIC70EcOI8A/s1600/hospital.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BldWTal2mlo/UAgbssYOsRI/AAAAAAAAA-8/NIC70EcOI8A/s1600/hospital.bmp" /></a><b>Incidentals....</b><br />
Some of our actors appreciated having a place to stretch out or do some personal 'primping'. We had a separate room available at the theatre location where the actors could have some privacy if they wanted it. We also arranged for a portable lift and change table for those who needed to use it. We also made sure that we had our first aid kits and emergency procedures in place...just in case!<br />
<br />
<b>Take a bow...</b><br />
Once the curtain fell and the theatre was dark again, clinicians from ACS met with the coordinator from the theatre and discussed how things went during that year's camps. What went well? What could we change for the following year? OK......Bravo, Brava......let's start planning for the next year's camp!!!!<br />

8 months ago, Kate was using PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) to
communicate but her team decided that she had the potential to move to a higher
tech device so she began using an iPad with a communication app called “Touch
Chat”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has progressed at a rapid
pace to the extent that she sometimes has to show Michelle where to find
certain words on her device! </span><br />

involves her </span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">iPad </span>and asking for specific choices. There are certain activities

with training, she now uses “her words” and her device. Her peers in the class
have also encouraged her to use the </span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">iPad </span>when she has something to say, such as

Working alongside the Augmentative Communication Service (ACS), they have been open to learning new ideas, and sharing their own strategies and expertise to work together to meet clients' needs. Initially, this team used a Core Vocabulary board to support one student in learning how to clearly let others know what he thought, expand his language to bigger sentences, joke, and engage with others. Now the team uses those strategies seamlessly, incorporating Core Vocabulary throughout the day with many kids in the class - both those who have advanced to a more high-tech voice output system and students who are just getting started with a few symbols. Not only is this team hard-working as they integrate augmentative communication strategies with the IBI program, but they do it in a fun and creative way as they make a difference in the lives of the children and families they support. <b>Way to go!</b><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b> </b></span></span><br />

I am usually very responsible however I like to get the scoop on what is happening so I often stop to chat, which can get me in trouble. </span><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Anyhow I better get on with my speech. I am excited to head off to high school although the early mornings will be rough. I also hear there are lots of girls in high school -- that's why I worked so hard -- ladies love a smooth talker :)</span><br />

They make sure that Leah's device is available to her wherever she needs it and they help her to find new words and phrases that she hasn't used before. Leah is doing an amazing job of exploring her new vocabulary and uses her device to tell her family and school friends things that they would have never guessed!!!!</span><br />

of Down syndrome. She was beautiful…she still is. She is also determined,
brave, smart, funny and a whole lot of stubborn.</span></div>

us and those around her with her drive and determination to succeed and show

to smile.</span></div>

"technically" began when our daughter was a year old. Children with
Down syndrome often have difficulty with speech so we began signing with her on
her 1st birthday. Within the first week she already knew and was using 10
signs. We were so excited so naturally we ran with it. We still sign with her
and today she proudly knows over 500 signs. It really is wonderful. I honestly
cannot imagine what life would have been like without them in those first few
years.</span></div>

<span face=""Helvetica","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt;">It was our OT that sent in our
application for AAC services and we were to wait…but those who know me will
tell you that I don't do so well with waiting...so we researched on our own and
purchased an Ipad with Proloquo2go. We realized quickly that our daughter
wasn't quite ready for something that advanced and we were not 100% confident
on how to teach her properly at such a young age…but we felt we had to try
something.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.3pt 56.65pt 85.0pt 113.35pt 141.7pt 170.05pt 198.4pt 226.75pt 255.1pt 283.45pt 311.8pt 340.15pt; text-autospace: none;">

<span face=""Helvetica","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt;">In 2014, we received a phone call from
our SLP in the ACS program at TVCC. She happily told us we were on the active
list. Now you would think I would have been ecstatic, all that time waiting,
but all of a sudden I was nervous. I know that sounds crazy, but I realized
that this was go time and change was on the way and I was worried I would somehow mess it up…what if we
choose the wrong device? What if the school won't co-operate? What if I can't
teach her how to use it effectively? All these questions came crashing in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.3pt 56.65pt 85.0pt 113.35pt 141.7pt 170.05pt 198.4pt 226.75pt 255.1pt 283.45pt 311.8pt 340.15pt; text-autospace: none;">

lying if I didn't tell you there have been some struggles along the way, but I
am now excited to say that our daughter is the proud user of LAMP Words for
Life on her Ipad…known to our family as her "TalkBox" in its hot pink
case that she picked out herself. She is using the full version with 84
locations and doing very well. She obviously is still learning her device as
she has only had it for about 6 months, but she is already stringing 3-4 words
together. They are not always grammatically correct, but she gets her point
across.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.3pt 56.65pt 85.0pt 113.35pt 141.7pt 170.05pt 198.4pt 226.75pt 255.1pt 283.45pt 311.8pt 340.15pt; text-autospace: none;">
<span face=""Helvetica","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt;">She uses her new found voice just as any
other kid would use theirs. She asks for her favourite snacks, to go for a
swing or watch TV. She answers our questions…and even tries to blame daddy to
get out of trouble when she has done something wrong. She argues. I think ‘No’
was the first symbol she mastered. She even cracks jokes. Actually that was one
of the very first things she did. This story always embarrasses my husband but
we both agree it is too cute not to share. We had her "Talkbox" for
about a week and my daughter and her dad were rough housing on the floor. Dad
accidentally passed some gas and they both started laughing. Dad grabbed her
Talkbox and said "Stinky" which sent her into hysterics. Later that
night at bedtime, she said "Night Mommy" and then started "Night
night…" and paused looking at her device. We assumed she was looking for
Daddy but ended up saying "Night night Stinky" and fell down on her
bed laughing so hard she could barely breathe. It was priceless. Her TalkBox
has helped her in so many ways. Not just to communicate her needs, but to let her personality shine. We were giving our
daughter her voice. Her voice that was going to help her make friends, tell us
her likes, let us know how she is feeling, and tell us about all her
adventures.</span></div>

challenging and emotional having your child using a communication device can
be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am certainly not an expert on the
topic, but for us it was always nice to hear what other families experienced,
so I would like to offer some advice to the parents that are just beginning to
explore the world of AAC with their child. Please feel free to pass this on.</span></div>

child</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.3pt 56.65pt 85.0pt 113.35pt 141.7pt 170.05pt 198.4pt 226.75pt 255.1pt 283.45pt 311.8pt 340.15pt; text-autospace: none;">
<span face=""Helvetica","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt;">When we first started signing with our
daughter we were constantly defending our decision to family and even complete
strangers when out in the community. We always got asked "Aren't you
afraid she won't try to talk if she can sign?" We started out being polite
giving the generic answer about how studies have proven that not to be true…but
it got to be so often and so annoying that we basically started saying
"Well she's not talking now, so if you have a better way for us to
communicate with her by all means tell us"…it made for some interesting
encounters. But we received that same skepticism when we talked to others about
AAC as well. There were comments like "She'll sound like a robot" or
"How long will she have to use this device" or my personal favourite
"If you don't give her another way then she will be forced to
talk"…cause you know it is that easy. So one of the biggest pieces of
advice I can give parents just beginning to explore AAC with their child is to
do what you feel is right for your child and family and be confident in your
decision. Everyone deserves a voice, no matter what form it comes in. We all
have something to say. You know your child best and it is okay to hear what
others have to say, but in the end you have to make the decision that is right
for your child. With that being said…</span></div>

<span face=""Helvetica","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt;">In the last 6 years I have experienced
enough in a variety of areas to have learned that you sometimes need to take
things into your own hands and not rely on others to give you all the
information. Take the information given to you and then research it for
yourself. Don't be afraid to ask questions and challenge ideas. You may be
surprised what you find. By researching on your own you will hear both sides of
a story.</span></div>

<span face=""Helvetica","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt;">Explore all avenues before shutting any
doors. We almost did, and it would have cost us all the wonderful experiences
we are having with our daughter. Everyone we knew was using Proloquo 2 Go. All
the schools in our board run Proloquo 2 Go on the Ipads they provide so
starting out we thought "Well that must be the one to use". So as I
mentioned before, that is where we started. When our SLP first presented the
idea of LAMP to us we brushed it off and thought "Wow, if we are confused
by how this device works how are we ever going to be able to teach it to our
daughter?!"…but we thankfully had an ACS team who cared enough to keep
nudging us to explore and try, and after doing some more research on our own we
made our decision.</span></div>

<span face=""Helvetica","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 12pt;">Dig down deep and pull out all of the
patience you have…because you are going to need it. I do not think I realized
how complicated communication was until I tried to teach it to someone else. I
will never again take for granted my ability to speak. Watching my daughter
struggle to communicate the simplest of thoughts and seeing her determination
inspires me every day. I am not going to lie, it is going to be frustrating at
times, simple tasks will take that much longer, and it certainly does not
happen overnight. But I can tell you from personal experience that it is worth
it. No matter what the ability level of your child, the first time they
communicate with you using AAC will be amazing and worth the wait.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My niece can vouch for that. On her 12th
birthday she got a phone call from my daughter that brought her to tears. For
the first time, our daughter said "Happy Birthday" into the phone.
Again, priceless.</span></div>

me leave you with this...To everyone involved in the process of
finding an ACS device for a child... Be sincere. Be yourself. Be honest. Be
patient…and most of all see the potential in the person you are working with.
They are going to have to work very hard and they deserve a fabulous cheering

comes to teaching, be it in the classroom, at home or in the treatment centre,
attitude is everything. Truly embracing a “yes we can” attitude for our

we can choose to presume competence and give our students the opportunity to
develop skills that otherwise may never emerge. </span></span></div>

We have great ideas about resources that we want to develop, communication boards we want to make, visual schedules that could be helpful. We all too frequently hear ourselves saying "When am I going to get that done?". We could all use a little help. The good news is that there are lots of resources out there that may work for our students. The trick is knowing where to find them. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Host a "show and share"</span></b></span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">If you belong to a parent group or have regular staff meetings at school, take a little time to share your ideas or to demonstrate what you have developed. Often getting your hands on what someone else has created will spark an idea. Hearing about what has worked well may provide some inspiration to try something different. For example, trying to describe how an encoded eye gaze system works is very different to seeing it in action. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Plan a "make it and take it" day / morning / hour!</b></span><br />

Find a time that you can meet, with all the items that you are going to need (e.g. Boardmaker, printer, cardstock, scissors, laminator...) and share those great ideas for creating items for a student or a whole class. If you need help, contact your Communicative Disorders Assistant, Speech Language Pathologist or Occupational Therapist to see if they can join the group. Sometimes having a scheduled time set aside can make these things happen. </span><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Wish you could give them lots of chances to use their messages over and over again (practice makes perfect)? </span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Wish you had more time to make individualized activities?</span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Wish you could get those news messages recorded everyday? </span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">If you have buddies who like to come down to the classroom and spend time with your
students, make the most of their time and show them how to do some of
the things that you <b>wish </b>you had more time to do!!! They </span>will get value out of the opportunity to help and make a difference, your load will be lightened, and your student who uses AAC will be further ahead too!</span><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Find the communication board that you need for that upcoming activity:</b></span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">These days it is so much easier to create personalized communication boards for our students to use during classroom activities. But creating boards still takes time. There are lots of places on the internet where people now share their boards, and many are related to common classroom activities. Check out some of the following:</span><br />
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://praacticalaac.org/praactical/super-size-it-5-ideas-for-making-large-communication-displays/" target="_blank">Praactical AAC</a></b>
shared some great ideas this week for making language visible and
available to everyone. Simply stated: "To teach AAC, be a speaker of
AAC". </span><br />
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Sharing on the Smart Board:</b></span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Need a core board that everyone in the classroom can share? Talk to your AAC clinician about how to display a core board on your Smartboard. Students are highly motivated to come up and use the symbols on the Smartboard. What a great opportunity for everyone to be communicating the same way! <b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b><a href="http://www.speakingofspeech.com/Home_Page.html" target="_blank">Speaking of Speech</a> - </b>an interactive online forum for speech language pathologists and teachers who are interested in helping students improve their communication skills. The site has a wonderful <b><a href="http://www.speakingofspeech.com/Materials_Exchange.html" target="_blank">Materials Exchange</a></b> section, where free materials are available, organized by topic. Here you will find communication displays for singing about Itsy Bitsy Spider, printable Yes/No cards, Topic Setting Boards and much, much more. And that's just in the AAC section! Lots of boards, all ready to use. </span></span><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Create an account (free!) to get started, then browse through the thousands of activities that are available for downloading. For example, searching for "The Gingerbread Man" brings up almost 300 results so chances are, if your class is reading this book, there will be something you can use here. </span><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">If you have created something in Boardmaker that has worked well for your student, someone else might find it helpful too. Consider uploading your activity so that others will benefit from your efforts. </span><br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rZuPQ0G0CRY/VImo-dKqy5I/AAAAAAAACEs/rN9J1hmKZqM/s1600/race%2Bcar.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rZuPQ0G0CRY/VImo-dKqy5I/AAAAAAAACEs/rN9J1hmKZqM/s1600/race%2Bcar.bmp" /></a></div>
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">In our busy world, it often feels like we are moving at the speed of a race car from one thing to the next. Once in a while we may need to slow down or even to stop, while we are waiting for something to happen: an appointment, an assessment or a meeting that will lead us to our next steps...</span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">While we are waiting, there are often things that we can do to keep everything moving along and to get prepared for what lies ahead. In the world of AAC, here are a few suggestions of ways that we can keep taking those steps forward. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">What can I do now?</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zP2W_mgw_W8/VImo-oQwk6I/AAAAAAAACEw/_1TetP2Bh34/s1600/ready.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zP2W_mgw_W8/VImo-oQwk6I/AAAAAAAACEw/_1TetP2Bh34/s1600/ready.bmp" /></a></span></b></div>
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">When you have to wait for an assessment or for AAC services to "begin" for your child, ask your service provider about what you c<span style="background-color: white;">an be doing to get ready. There are a variety of service pathways at the children's treatment centres across Ontario. Often the process is outlined on the Centres' websites. </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white;">At TVCC in London, Ontario, parents and caregivers of children who have been referred are encouraged to complete an <b>Augmentative Communication Orientation </b></span></span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white;">online learning module</span></span>, where they learn about </span></span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white;">what's involved in the <b>assessment process</b>. Families may also participate in a <b>Discovery Consultation</b> at which information related to their child's existing communication skills is shared. If their </span>child then needs to wait for an assessment, suggestions are made for some introductory "next steps" that can help that child continue to develop their communication skills while waiting for an appointment. </span><br />
<b><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></span></b>
<b><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Gathering information...</span></b><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">You may be asked to gather together information that will ultimately be used when service providers are beginning their involvement. Some of this information can be helpful in many different situations: informing a new teacher about how your child communicates, sharing information with a support worker in the home, providing an update to a medical specialist at your next appointment. </span><br />
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Here are a few ways to pull all of that information together:</span><br />
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> - Observe your child and document what you see. Your child will have lots of different ways that they use right now to let you know how they're feeling or what they want to do. If you can list what your child does and what it means, it can be very helpful to others who are just getting to know them for the first time. Sometimes this list of communication strategies used is referred to as a "<b>Communication Dictionary</b>". </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gVn7lB9NMMo/VImo9r7QLmI/AAAAAAAACEc/H3M-JYX6I6I/s1600/list.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gVn7lB9NMMo/VImo9r7QLmI/AAAAAAAACEc/H3M-JYX6I6I/s1600/list.bmp" /></a></div>
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">- List your child's <b>preferences</b> e.g. favourite toys, books, movies, activities. When thinking about setting up opportunities for practicing communication, AAC clinicians will often want to engage your child in activities that are highly motivating. Knowing what items your child doesn't like can be equally important, as there are times when we need to know if a child is making a request for an item with intent ("I'm looking at my favorite stuffy. I really want it.") vs. looking at an item because you have held it up ("I'm looking at the empty kleenex box"). </span><br />
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">- Considering your child's preferences is a great starting point for <b>documenting vocabulary</b> that you think will need to be added to any communication system that is put in place. Start to keep a note of those key words that will be motivating for your child - the names of pets or best buddies, places that they love to visit, expressions that your family likes to use. The list that you generate can later be used as a starting point for customizing a vocabulary on a speech generating device or personal communication display.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Thinking about funding...</span></b><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">When looking ahead to putting in place communication strategies, there may be items that are recommended to be purchased or leased following the assessment. Many funding sources require documentation from a doctor stating a child's diagnosis. It will be helpful to obtain this from your doctor ahead of time. Information about potential funding sources is often available through a local children's treatment centre. In London, Ontario, TVCC funding information can be found <b><a href="https://www.tvcc.on.ca/resource/funding-facts" target="_blank">here</a>. </b> </span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>Sharing Information...</b></span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">- Put your observations into an "<a href="http://connectability.ca/2011/04/15/all-about-me/" target="_blank"><b>About Me Book</b></a>". You can make it as fancy or as straightforward as you want. Sharing information about how your child communicates can provide the context needed for successful communication. It can also be used to share interests and spark conversation. </span><br />
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">- Another way of collecting all of this information is by creating a "<a href="http://www.communicationpassports.org.uk/Creating-Passports/" target="_blank"><b>Communication Passport</b></a>". Download a template that can be customized and printed out. </span><br />
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">- Create a "<b>Remnant Book</b>". This is a place to store photos, postcards, tickets or mementos that are meaningful to someone. This provides a way to talk about things that are fun or important to the person and allows others to get to know them better. Many families use a small photo album that can be easily transported or attached to a wheelchair with a clip. </span><b><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> </span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BSqLVPEWyng/VImo-FZF15I/AAAAAAAACEk/7S2qL7xYm2M/s1600/pictures.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BSqLVPEWyng/VImo-FZF15I/AAAAAAAACEk/7S2qL7xYm2M/s1600/pictures.bmp" /></a></div>
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>A picture is worth a thousand words...</b></span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Capture some examples of how your child is currently communicating on a phone or tablet. This can be a very helpful tool when introducing your child to new people. Not only does it show what your child is capable of, it can also show new communication partners how they can best interact with your child (e.g. how to ask questions, how to interpret responses). These days you can gather all your information together in a high tech manner - capture the information for your communication passport in a <b>Prezi</b> that others can watch and learn from. Here's a brilliant example, all about <b><a href="https://prezi.com/nlwezufqlxey/abby-2014/" target="_blank">Abby</a></b>! </span><br />
<br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Shape your child's <b>yes and no responses</b>. Having a consistent, repeatable and recognizable way to say "yes" and "no" can be very helpful when your child is communicating with a variety of different people. There are lots of ways that you can say "yes" and "no" - a head movement, a gesture, moving your eyes a certain way, etc. In addition, we sometimes use different methods at different times to 'say' these words. Our students often benefit from clear feedback about what they have done that has been accepted as a "yes" or "no" response: "I see you looking right at me - I think you are telling me yes". Share with others what has worked and what you are looking for as a "yes" and "no" response - make sure it's listed in your communication dictionary and passport!</span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">For additional ideas for shaping yes/no responses, check the <b><a href="http://teachinglearnerswithmultipleneeds.blogspot.ca/2012/11/the-yesno-series-part-one.html" target="_blank">Teaching Learners with Multiple Needs</a></b> blogspot. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Modeling...</span></b><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Here's something that you can start doing as soon as symbols are introduced for your child. Pointing to symbols as you speak helps kids understand what symbols mean and how they can be used. It sounds like a simple enough idea, but requires us to change how we interact with our children. The PRC Let's Talk Blog has a wonderful post by Beth Ahmad that explains why we need a <b><a href="https://aaclanguagelab.com/articles/the-model-model-model-mantra?mode=view" target="_blank">"Model, Model, Model"</a></b> Mantra.</span><b><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> </span></b><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Often Children's Treatment Centres will offer workshops and small group activities for children, parents, siblings and caregivers. </span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Information about what is available may be posted on the Centres' websites or may be available from other professionals who work with your child. </span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">At </span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white;">TVCC in London, Ontario, </span></span></span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b><a href="https://www.tvcc.on.ca/content?field_theme_tid=All&type_1=workshops&field_county_value=All" target="_blank">online Education Workshops</a> </b>on specific topics are available.

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Our children grow up in the blink of an eye... before you know it they are going to high school and then it's only a few short years before they enter into the adult world. Skills needed to negotiate that adult world need to be introduced and practiced long before they will be used. Our students need lots of time (and help) to learn about how things change when you become an adult. This month we will consider some of the supports that we can put in place to help our students take on this </span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">challenge.</span><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> </span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">- Have photographs available to show others quickly how you like things

how they can communicate with you.</span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">- Look for apps that can be helpful in sharing information. Here's one
that can be used to explain
what's needed for a particular event or process. For example, you can create a short presentation on how to set up the mounting components for a speech generating device, focusing attention on the most important details. <b><a href="https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/explain-everything-whiteboard/id1020339980" target="_blank">Explain Everything Whiteboard app</a></b></span> <span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">is an

<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>How do I make these activities work? </b></span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Although all of these activities require mouse input, you should be able to use any alternative access that behaves like a mouse (i.e. that using your access method, you can move a cursor on the computer and perform a click function). Some examples of this are using Mouse Keys that can be setup in the o</span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">perating systems of your computer, or mouse controls on your high tech speech-generating device. If you are unsure of how to make this work for your student, speak to your TVCC ACS clinicians. <b> </b></span><br />
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>Using Eye Gaze?</b> </span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Most
of these activities should be accessible using eye tracking technology
as well. By having a switch, or another mode for the 'left mouse
button' to depress, the paint brush will follow the path of the eyes and
'paint' when the mouse button (or switch, or software equivalent) is
depressed. </span>Talk with your ACS clinicians if you need some support around using this feature. </span><br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>Tip - </b></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W_hkvOqBNbk/VFOkYfEHpBI/AAAAAAAACCA/6lX_hSkb7PI/s1600/magnify.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W_hkvOqBNbk/VFOkYfEHpBI/AAAAAAAACCA/6lX_hSkb7PI/s1600/magnify.bmp" /></a><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">For some colouring
activities, students may find it useful if you 'magnify' the page so
that the targets of the paintbrushes, colours, stickers etc. are bigger
and easier to select. Check out the <i>Display</i> options in the <i>Control Panel </i>on your computer's operating system to make these changes. </span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></span><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Another form of artistic expression can be through photography and/or videography. Some companies have created digital cameras and video cameras that are accessible via switch for those who cannot manipulate the small buttons on an un-adapted camera. </span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">What a way to capture memories
forever and to be able to dabble in the artistry of portraits, candid
shots, lines, shadows, lighting, or the abstract!</span><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Visit <a href="http://www.rjcooper.com/digital-camera/index.html" target="_blank"><b>RJ Cooper</b></a>'s site to see a
camera that has been adapted so that it can be controlled using
switches. You can set it up to use one switch to turn the camera or videocamera
on/off, and another switch to snap the photo or start the camera rolling! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Many of the high tech speech generating devices that are available now have their own digital cameras built right into the device. Often, they can be setup so that the camera can be accessed in the same way that the communication messages are selected. Talk to your ACS clinicians for more information about this. </span><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">There are no end of art activities happening in classrooms and at home every day. Try a quick Google or Pinterest search for art activities - the amount of ideas you will find is mind boggling! </span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Art activities provide a great opportunity to practice using some <b>core vocabulary</b> words and to model using some short phrases. Creating a new piece of art allows for repetition with variation. "Make it blue!", "Put it on", "more!", "stop", "look at that!", "Help me", "I like it!". The words and phrases that are modeled and used may be the same, but the "artistic" outcome will always be different! <b><br /></b></span><br />

Outside, Fall is starting to look quite spectacular, we're feeling those cooler nights that are just right for snuggling under a blanket and, October is AAC Awareness month! Let's share our passion for AAC. Spread the word and encourage others to explore activities that can open up the world of communication. This month we are sharing resources, ideas and words of inspiration, all related to sharing our message: AAC rocks! <br />
<br />
<b>Sometimes you just have to try it...</b><br />
We often encourage others to try using a communication display or speech generating device, for all kinds of reasons. Those of us who are used to opening our mouths and letting the words come effortlessly can be brought to an abrupt halt when given a device to try. "How do I turn this on?", "I don't know where any of the vocabulary is", "It takes a long time to say something with this device".<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Here are some ideas for activities for friends, family, the classroom and beyond!<br />
<br />
In the classroom, there are lots of different activities that can allow everyone to learn about symbols, practice finding their locations and putting them together to make phrases and sentences. A couple of examples...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Axkq3wEZb6o/VCrOFM3D49I/AAAAAAAAB90/XdoDfu4m4wo/s1600/bingo.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Axkq3wEZb6o/VCrOFM3D49I/AAAAAAAAB90/XdoDfu4m4wo/s1600/bingo.bmp" /></a></div>
<b>Core Word Bingo</b><br />
Help students learn the locations of the core words on boards that are used in the classroom. Bingo games are quick and easy to set up, and can be played over and over. Make laminated copies of the core boards, with individual symbol cards for matching the called bingo item.You can find an example of a <b>Core Word Board</b> that we've used before in <b><a href="http://www.boardmakershare.com/">Boardmaker Share</a></b>.<br />
<br />

<b>Making pizza</b><br />
Everyone gets to choose what to put on their pizza when using their individual communication board. Create a masterpiece paper pizza or take it into the kitchen and make the real thing! You can find an example of a <b>Pizza Activity</b> that we've used before in <a href="http://www.boardmakershare.com/" target="_blank"><b>Boardmaker</b></a><b>.</b><br />

In the classroom, provide everyone with a <b>symbol based place-mat</b> and chat while you chew!</div>

<b>Come on in, grab a board! </b><br />
Have extra laminated
communication displays available just inside the doorway of your
classroom. Encourage your guests, other teachers, and the Principal to grab a
board when they come in to see what's happening in your classroom and
encourage them to give it a try. Peers or buddies are often very
interested in trying to use communication displays.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>AAC Awareness sessions for TVCC Augmentative Communication Service clients </b><br />
If your child or student currently receives services from ACS at TVCC, you can talk to your SLP or OT to arrange an <b>AAC Awareness session</b> in the classroom. Clinicians will customize the content for the grade level of the student who uses AAC and will bring along activities for students to practice what they have learned during the session. Just give your clinician a call to set a date. <b><br /></b><br />
<br />
<b>Quiet </b><b>coffee</b><br />
A great way to encourage family
members, school staff, grandparents groups and others to think about
what's involved in using a symbol board, quick messaging device or more
robust speech generating device in order to get their morning brew!
Start this month's staff meeting with a 'quiet coffee'. You provide the
coffee, snacks, and the experience. You can find an example of a <b>Coffee Board</b> to use in <b><a href="http://www.boardmakershare.com/" target="_blank">Boardmaker</a></b>. <br />
<br />
<b>Talking with your mouth full... </b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ffy4gTR3MQA/VCrOJNPyxRI/AAAAAAAAB-A/xNmx9zww5io/s1600/lunch.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ffy4gTR3MQA/VCrOJNPyxRI/AAAAAAAAB-A/xNmx9zww5io/s1600/lunch.bmp" /></a>Trying
out some AAC strategies over a coffee is a great start. Why not make it
more of an experience and extend it over lunch? Go to a
local restaurant with a group of friends or colleagues and find out
what it's like to use AAC in the community. Share some resources and help others understand how they can communicate more effectively
with individuals who use AAC.<br />

<b>Make a day of it...</b><br />
For those of us who use speech, keeping quiet for 15 minutes over a coffee break can be challenging. Using a communication display, facial expression and gestures to get what we need at lunchtime can be eye-opening. How about taking it to the next level, and trying to communicate using <u>only</u> AAC strategies for 24 hours?<br />
In 2013, Ann McKenzie (Communicative Disorders Assistant from Children's Treatment Centre of Chatham Kent) did just that. Ann took on the challenge of communicating only through gestures, writing
and using an augmentative device, to get a better understanding of the struggles non-verbal children have when communicating with others on
a daily basis. <br />
<br />
<b>So? How did it feel? </b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xCN158ox8Ug/VCrOLEOpJcI/AAAAAAAAB-o/z4WPYU2jO_c/s1600/talk.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xCN158ox8Ug/VCrOLEOpJcI/AAAAAAAAB-o/z4WPYU2jO_c/s1600/talk.bmp" /></a></b></div>
<br />
You tried using the personal communication symbol board. You ordered lunch with a Tobii, using your eyes to select the words. You played Snakes and Ladders using an iPad with a head pointer. How did it feel? What did you find out? Maybe something like this......<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>"I didn't know how to turn the device on"</b><br />
Our students need to take ownership of their AAC systems. They need their systems to be reliable, available when they have something that they want to say (which could be any time at all) and ready to go when they are.We can help our students by showing them how to turn on their device when they want to talk, or by giving them a way to indicate when they need their AAC system. <br />
<b>"I just didn't know where to find the words I needed"</b><br />
It really is just like learning a new language. You need help to learn what those symbols represent (especially if someone took the written word away from the top of the symbol!). You need to know which words are stored on your device and where to go to find them. You need strategies to let people know when they haven't understood your message. Or, when you haven't got quite the right word to say what you wanted. It takes time, practice and learning. <br />
<b>"The words I needed weren't on the device"</b><br />
Perhaps you were able to use a strategy to get your point across. Apple = green fruit, good. Cabbage = green vegetable, bad. Or maybe you just got frustrated and went straight to your spelling page. Fortunately for you, you have great spelling skills and can easily point to those letters. Our students may be relying just on the symbol set in front of them. <br />
<b>"Using your eyes is really tiring"</b><br />
Some of our kids make using eye gaze look really easy. It's not. Trust me. It's hard on your eyes and makes you crazy! You just have to try it to find out for yourself. <br />
<b>"I was kind of embarrassed to use the device in the restaurant"</b><br />
Many of our students, particularly teens, are keenly aware that you may look a little different when you use something other than your voice to communicate. For some, device acceptance may take time. <br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>"It was too hard. So I just stayed quiet."</b><br />
It <u>is</u> hard. Particularly when you are just starting out. And that is why we all need a little help now and again. <br />

<b>Help shape the future of AAC...</b><br />
Ted Talks bring us unique viewpoints and compelling stories on a wide variety of different topics. Here's a wonderful talk related to changing the face, or rather voice, of speech generating technology as we know it.<br />
"Many of those with severe speech disorders use a computerized device to
communicate. Yet they choose between only a few voice options. That's
why Stephen Hawking has an American accent, and why many people end up
with the same voice, often to incongruous effect. Speech scientist <b><a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/rupal_patel_synthetic_voices_as_unique_as_fingerprints">Rupal Patel</a></b> wanted to do something about this, and in this wonderful talk she
shares her work to engineer unique voices for the voiceless."

London, ON, has been supportive of her student Will from the moment we started
exploring Augmentative Communication strategies last fall. Ms. Austin, along
with educational assistants Mrs. Hutter and Mrs. Bradford, have learned how to
add words, symbols and pictures that meet William’s needs. More importantly, they have helped him use it
in a natural way throughout the school day, reminding him to “have your voice
ready” so he can use it whenever he needs it.
The school team has been teaching William new vocabulary to help expand
his language, but also to give him a way to joke with others, tell peers what
he thinks, and express his good-natured
self. Ms. Austin and her team are always
thinking of creative ways they can support students like Will in using AAC.
They are using the strategies they’ve learned to incorporate a variety of
symbols with other students in their class. In her own words, Ms. Austin has been
surprised and excited by how quickly Will has learned to use his device “to
communicate new things, or use the symbols in new ways, all on his own.”</span></span></div>

Separate School is a busy place with lots of little voices exploring the world
around them. Among those voices is
Ava’s; she uses the Touch Chat communication app to help her peers and school
staff hear and understand what she wants or thinks. Ava is able to talk about the weather and calendar
at circle time, say her prayers, ask for help, participate in reading stories, and
talk about her favourite activities just like her peers. In addition to her own willingness to try new
things, her success has been due to the wonderful team that supports her: Her
mother, Lili, her teacher, Ms. Comiskey, and educational assistants, Ms. Boyce
and Ms. McManus. In Lili’s own words, “As a parent, I try to do as much as I
can for her but I recognize that it takes a dedicated team to make it all come
together. The school team has been wonderful and are more than willing to do
what it takes for Ava to succeed.” </span></span></div>

strategies in place could benefit all of the students under their care. Their
enthusiasm and drive to learn more about what they could do to support students
with complex communication needs was evident during the after school workshops.
Now they are putting that knowledge into practice by creating core vocabulary
boards for their classrooms and modeling language for the students throughout
the day. Kudos to all of the team, the teachers in other classes at the school and the administrators who put their support behind the training, and - thanks for going the extra mile for your
students!<b> </b></span><br />

Minspeak is a way to represent language using a small set of pictures (icons) and taking advantage of all the <b>natural associations</b> that can be made from them. This month, let’s take the time to investigate Minspeak in a bit more detail. <br /><br /><b>What is Minspeak?</b><br />Minspeak has been around since the early 1980’s, created by Bruce Baker, the founder and president of Semantic Compaction Systems. <b><a href="http://www.minspeak.com">www.minspeak.com</a></b> contains a wealth of information about the language. Here’s the basic introduction, taken from the website: <br /> </span><br />

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>Minspeak uses pictures – called icons. </b>A Minspeak icon is just a picture – a simple, easily recognized picture. Icons are chosen for a Minspeak system because they are culturally relevant and communicate a wide range of common ideas and topics. Pictures are used before, during and after a person learns to spell or read.<br /><span id="goog_733869187"></span><span id="goog_733869188"></span><br /><b>Minspeak systematically uses multi-meaning icons. </b>Pictures and icons naturally evoke multiple ideas. For example, the word bed can be used to express the idea of a bed, whereas the picture or icon of a bed can express not </span><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k2ftn6IViS0/U1ZlA8MjRUI/AAAAAAAAB20/dLmgY5iLFzY/s1600/bed.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k2ftn6IViS0/U1ZlA8MjRUI/AAAAAAAAB20/dLmgY5iLFzY/s1600/bed.jpg" /></a></td></tr>

Minspeak systematically uses the multiple meanings associated with a single picture. </span><br />
<br />
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>Icons are combined into short sequences to code vocabulary.</b><br />Minspeak icons
are combined in 2 or 3 part sequences in order to say all the different
ideas that the picture codes. Say drink by sequencing JUICE with VERB ("action man").
Say thirsty by sequencing JUICE with ADJECTIVE ("paint brush"). This is the way Minspeak
makes systematic use of multi-meaning icons.</span><br />

<b><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Minspeak vocabulary remains the same over time </span></b></p><p>
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"></span>
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Since Minspeak systems use a relatively small set of icons to represent a large vocabulary:</span><br />
</p><ul>
<li><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">New icons are not needed to add a new word. </span>Most words a person uses are already available in the system, and the person using Minspeak <b>has to learn how the word is coded</b>. When a specific word is not available, the rules and patterns for adding new words can be used to create a code or sequence for that word. </span></li>
<li><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">As a result, the Minspeak icons remain the same, and stay in the <b>same location</b> as a child grows in his or her use of the system. This makes it easy for the child to remember where the icons are, and to become more automatic in using the Minspeak system. </span></li>

<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Unity is the language system that is used on most Prentke Romich communication devices. It uses a small set of Minspeak icons that can be combined in short sequences to produce words, phrases, and sentences. A person using Unity may be able to transition through various different Unity layouts, beginning with a vocabulary where one picture represents one word. More advanced users may use sequences of icons to represent words or phrases. The use of a consistent set of icons and consistent icon layout assists with vocabulary retrieval and decreases the need for re-learning as language develops. </span><br />

Onscreen keyboards are becoming mainstream with the popularity of touch screen devices such as tablets and smart phones. For kids who have difficulty with fine motor control, using an onscreen keyboard in combination with a mouse (or other pointing device) can significantly reduce the motor demands involved in keyboarding. In this issue, we'll explore the range of onscreen keyboard options there are for kids who can use a mouse, joystick, trackball or touchpad.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What should I be looking for in an onscreen keyboard? </b><br />
There are a few different onscreen keyboards available on the market. Some are built into operating systems while others are software (free or purchased) that can be installed. Here are some features to consider when looking at onscreen keyboards:<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Re-Sizable</b><br />
Adjusting the distance between each key can affect the amount of movement of the mouse required by the client as well as impacts the target size of the keys. It can also affect the amount of space that is available for the program you are writing into.<br />
<br />
<b>Able to be moved around </b><br />
Moving the keyboard around the screen may help the student to see different areas of the computer screen that may be blocked by the onscreen keyboard.<br />
<br />
<b>Writes where you want</b><br />
Onscreen keyboards that are available within larger software programs often only write (easily) into their own word processing program. If your student has the need to write into an email program or the Internet, ensure that the onscreen keyboard you're picking is able to do just that.<br />
<br />
<b>Predicts words for you</b><br />
Word prediction can help reduce the number of selections required to write a word. This can help reduce the amount of physical effort required for writing and may help someone write for longer periods of time. Some onscreen keyboards have word prediction built in, while others work well with additional word prediction software.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Reads for you</b><br />
Some onscreen keyboards have a "read" feature that will read back words or sentences for you. It may also read any predicted word lists. <br />
<br />
<b>Is colourful</b><br />
Some onscreen keyboards allow you to choose the background colour or choose from some ready made keyboards. Colour and contrast can be important features for people who have visual impairments. <br />
<br />
<b>Onscreen Keyboard Options </b><br />
Here is a list of some of the available onscreen keyboards. The availability of the above mentioned features can be determined by looking on the manufacturer's website or downloading a free trial (if available). <br />
<br />
If you're not sure where to get started talk with your child's Occupational Therapist to learn more about onscreen keyboards. <br />

This process is referred to as step scanning. One of the benefits of step scanning is that the timing element is removed. This means that the child can control when the next choice is highlighted.<br />

(partner assisted scanning) <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NBXLQ_QOfxU/UuaKCKMI7xI/AAAAAAAABzY/R-lktv9PWcA/s1600/tell.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NBXLQ_QOfxU/UuaKCKMI7xI/AAAAAAAABzY/R-lktv9PWcA/s1600/tell.bmp" /></a></div>
We all experience situations in which we can benefit from some help from others when communicating. That word that is just on the tip of your tongue that you just can't find. Remembering all the "daily specials" when they come to take your order. Getting feedback from the audience that shows your presentation is going well. Many AAC strategies also require the support of a communication partner to ensure success. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jflbWdgbTWA/UpeICUY5EZI/AAAAAAAABwY/eVzW8j9gmJM/s1600/greeting.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jflbWdgbTWA/UpeICUY5EZI/AAAAAAAABwY/eVzW8j9gmJM/s1600/greeting.bmp" /></a>Partner assisted scanning, also known as live voice scanning, is an access method often used in augmentative communication. It involves having a communication partner read choices aloud and the student indicating "yes" when a desired item is spoken. This method is often used when a student has motor impairments that make it difficult to directly access an SGD or computer. <br />
<br />
What are the basic steps in using Partner Assisted Scanning?<br />
<br />
1. First of all, find out how your student says "yes".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wz_OdElO7_M/Utl1rCUSfoI/AAAAAAAABys/PjkqWRUYe3k/s1600/143541112_197d382bfc_m.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wz_OdElO7_M/Utl1rCUSfoI/AAAAAAAABys/PjkqWRUYe3k/s1600/143541112_197d382bfc_m.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Saying YES can take many forms from verbally saying "Yes, Yeah, or Unhuh" to looking up, moving your head to the left or right, raising an arm, or even hitting a switch. You may need to look carefully to discover what is often referred to as the student's "best yes". Let your student know what it is that you have seen, and what you think it means: "I see you moving your eyes up high. I think you are telling me yes". Talk to others in your student's environment to make sure that everyone is accepting and reinforcing the same signal as "yes", particularly if it is very specific to that student.<br />
<br />
2. Find out if your student has a communication book.<br />
<br />
Your student may already be familiar with a particular order of topics that they use to anticipate what is coming next. Or there may be a vocabulary board that is already frequently used in the classroom or at home. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g7JwkNFtrG0/To8ariFeLVI/AAAAAAAAAPk/YEGGVGqpj5c/s1600/choose.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g7JwkNFtrG0/To8ariFeLVI/AAAAAAAAAPk/YEGGVGqpj5c/s1600/choose.JPG" /></a><br />
3. Tell the student what you are going to do so they know what to expect.<br />
<br />
E.g. " I will read through all your choices first. Then I'll read them again slowly, so you can let me know which one you'd like to say."<br />
<br />
4. Tell the student what you are thinking. If you think they've said "yes" to a particular choice, then tell them, e.g. "I see you looked up, you're telling me 'I want a book'." Or conversely: "I'm not sure which one you want because I didn't see you look up. Let's try it again."<br />
<br />
5. Be sure to include a way for your student to indicate that what they want to say isn't in the list. If your student isn't engaged, maybe they don't want any of the options offered. Or maybe they have something else that they would like to say. You could include an option such as "I'm all done" or "something else" or "not in the list".<br />
<br />
<b>Organizing the Vocabulary</b><br />
<br />
Partner assisted scanning relies heavily on the communication partners providing access to the vocabulary needed. Even though, it may take a bit longer to get to a particular message by going through each message, you provide the chance for that child to say something perhaps you didn't anticipate like, "I'm bored" or "I think you're funny". Having a the vocabulary laid out so that each communication partner is providing the same choices, helps provide that opportunity. <br />
<br /> <br /><br />

Switches have various properties that can help to make them a good fit for your student. Consult with your student's Occupational Therapist to help you determine the 'just right' match. <br />
<br />
Shape, Size and Aesthetics<br />
<ul>

<li>Consider the location of the switch. You may have <b>
limited room </b>if you're mounting a switch or using multiple switches. </li>
<li>Pick a switch that is a <b>similar size to the target area</b> that your student can accurately and reliably activate. </li>
<li>Switches come in a variety of colours and even some animal shapes that may <b>keep your student motivated</b> to participate. </li>
</ul>
Activation force<br />
<ul>
<li>The sensitivity of switches can vary and sometimes can be adjustable. This is especially important if your student has very little movement or when energy conservation is a concern.</li>
</ul>
<br />

<ul>
<li>The distance from the starting position (without touch) to activation of the switch is referred to as "travel". The amount of travel can be important when you are embedding a switch into an object such as a headrest. </li>
</ul>
<br />
Durability<br />
<ul>
<li> Unfortunately, switches don't last forever. Consider the force your child is putting on the switch and the overall strength of the switch. It may need to be replaced more often. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4p_0gcuhSiM/T2naiHwM7II/AAAAAAAAAnQ/jz8FjxUZ7FM/s1600/hear.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4p_0gcuhSiM/T2naiHwM7II/AAAAAAAAAnQ/jz8FjxUZ7FM/s1600/hear.JPG" /></a>Feedback from switch<br />
<ul>
<li>Some switches provide an auditory beep or a clicking noise to let you know it has been activated. There are also some switches that provide sensory feedback such as a bumpy or soft surface. </li>
</ul>
<b>Switch Types</b><br />
Have you ever wondered how switches work and whether or not they need batteries or power?<b> </b>We asked our rehab technician and here's what he shared with us:<br />
<br />
Mechanical <br />
<ul>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EQ6kdURWYxM/UrQ8R6NEqFI/AAAAAAAAByI/mg9-iDA6NGc/s1600/time.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>
<li>Most switches are mechanical and momentary in nature (only on while you are activating it). No power source is required for operation.</li>
<li>Examples:<a href="https://www.ablenetinc.com/jelly-bean" target="_blank"> Jelly Bean Switch</a>, <a href="https://www.ablenetinc.com/buddy-button/" target="_blank">Buddy Button</a>, <a href="http://www.spectronicsinoz.com/product/mini-cup-switch">Mini Cup Switch</a> </li>
</ul>
Electronic<br />
<ul>
<li>Electronic sensors can be pressure, proximity/touch, fibre-optic, and photo-electric (eye blink) . All of these type of sensors will need power to operate and also some external circuitry to simulate a mechanical switch. So the sensor + power supply + circuitry makes it a switch. </li>
<li>Example: <a href="https://www.adaptivation.com/product-page/honeybee" target="_blank">Proximity switch</a> </li>
</ul>
Pneumatic<br />
<ul>
<li>Pneumatic switches are basically your sip and puff type of switches. Usually no circuitry or power is required for these types of switches.</li>
<li>Examples: <a href="http://www.orin.com/access/sip_puff/#Sip/Puff%20Switch" target="_blank">Sip and Puff switch</a>, <a href="http://enablingdevices.com/catalog/capability_switches/sip-puff-breath-switches/grip-puff-switch" target="_blank">Grip and Puff Switch</a></li>
</ul>
<b>General Switch Examples: </b><br />
We found this video from Therapybox that showcases a number of different switches:<br />

<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<b>Student Abilities and Needs</b><br />
<br />
When exploring switch access consider some of these factors:<br />
<br />
<b> </b><br />
1. Can the client/student use movement that…<br />
<ul>
<li>is voluntary both on and off the switch? (often the latter is the more difficult)</li>
<li>is repeatable?</li>
<li>is easy/energy efficient?</li><li>reduces or eliminates minimal or accidental hits?</li>
</ul>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MgtSDci_uuM/UrQ8MJNHgTI/AAAAAAAABxk/M9x521WkBUM/s1600/plate+switch.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MgtSDci_uuM/UrQ8MJNHgTI/AAAAAAAABxk/M9x521WkBUM/s1600/plate+switch.bmp" /></a>2. Does the client/student require this switch mounted or angled? <br />
<br />
3. Is the client/student motivated to use the switch? What are they able to do with their switch?<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>Where can I purchase a switch?</b><br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JP6vW8DjDRQ/UrQ8K4RsKnI/AAAAAAAABxQ/y3LLzCYcvNU/s1600/money.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JP6vW8DjDRQ/UrQ8K4RsKnI/AAAAAAAABxQ/y3LLzCYcvNU/s1600/money.bmp" /></a>There is a wide range of prices when it comes to
switches. They can run from as little as $20 to well over $1000! <br />
<br />
Assistive Device Program (ADP) Funding <br />
In
Ontario, ADP provides funding for the
purchase, and in some cases, lease of switches to access a Speech
Generating Device (SGD). If your student is followed by an Augmentative
Communication Clinic or by a Occupational Therapist who is an authorizor with ADP, talk with your therapist about eligibility for a switch assessment.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to purchase a switch, there are a variety of vendors including: </div>

Do you own a single or sequential messaging device (SGD)? Be honest, when was the last time you used it? Do you need some new ideas to dust off that device and get it up and running again? Simple SGDs can be used for a variety of reasons including sharing news, asking a question, making a comment, cheering for your team etc. We've scoured the Internet and gathered all of these useful suggestions to allow kids who use AC to increase their active participation.<br />

<b>What are single or sequential messaging devices? </b><br />
Single message devices allow one message to be programmed in at a time. <br />
Sequential message devices allow multiple messages to be programmed in one at a time. <br />

<b>Setting up for Success</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="clear: both;">
Here are some tips to help make using a simple speech generating device easy.</div>
<div style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0FOPMA7aodc/UpeH4JNTsNI/AAAAAAAABwM/lJJxRAMmzyo/s1600/seconds.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0FOPMA7aodc/UpeH4JNTsNI/AAAAAAAABwM/lJJxRAMmzyo/s1600/seconds.bmp" /></a>1. Make sure the device is <b>easy to find</b> when
you need it. Generally, if you can get a message on a device and ready
to use in 30 seconds, you're more likely to help your child catch the
moment. <a href="http://aacintervention.com/" target="_blank">Caroline Musselwhite</a>,
experienced assistive technology specialist refers to this principle as
the "30 second" rule. Show everybody how to put a message in the
device so that no opportunities are missed.</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both;">
Here are two videos by
Ablenet demonstrating how to record on a Big Mack and Step by Step.
Written instructions are also located at the bottom of most devices.</div>
<br />

<br />
2. Involve your child when deciding what message(s) to record on the device. If possible, provide choices of messages to share e.g. "Do you want to say 'Good morning how are you today?' or 'Hey, Is it Friday yet?' "<br />
<ol>
</ol>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IvE9CkfEPwU/UpeHpeDP6wI/AAAAAAAABwE/Ac6ARid4Kho/s1600/joke.bmp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IvE9CkfEPwU/UpeHpeDP6wI/AAAAAAAABwE/Ac6ARid4Kho/s1600/joke.bmp" /></a>3. Record the message from the child's perspective "Guess where <b>I</b> went last night?, <b>I</b> went to see Elf" vs. "<b>Elizabeth</b> went to see Elf last night". When you are able, ask a child of the same gender and similar age to <br />
record the message so the voice is fitting.<br />
<br />
4. If you need to prompt your child to share their message, focus on the communication rather than the access. For example: "I think Beth has something to share with us" instead of "hit your switch". <br />
<br />
5. Acknowledge the message by reflecting back what you've heard and expanding on the information given. "You're right, Jordan it's Wednesday. We are going to do some cooking this afternoon."<br />
<br />
6. When your child is using a sequential speech generating device, it may be helpful to include an indication that there are no more messages to share e.g. "that's all for now". <br />
<br />

<b>When can I use simple speech generating device?</b><br />
<ul>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jflbWdgbTWA/UpeICUY5EZI/AAAAAAAABwU/frNEcZO8mv8/s1600/greeting.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jflbWdgbTWA/UpeICUY5EZI/AAAAAAAABwU/frNEcZO8mv8/s1600/greeting.bmp" /></a>
<li>Look for natural opportunities throughout your child's day where they can actively participate in what's happening around them. <br /></li><li>Greeting visitors to the classroom</li><li>Wishing someone happy birthday</li><ul></ul>
<li>Regularly occurring activities also provide your child with the chance to join in. </li>
<ul>
<li>Reading with a classmate</li>
<li>Jokes. Can't think of any good jokes? Here are helpful lists from <a href="http://praacticalaac.org/praactical/funny-bones-jokes-for-sequential-message-devicesapps/" target="_blank">PrAACtical AAC</a>. </li>
<li>Sharing news</li>
<li>Participation in circle time - talking about the weather, day of the week</li>
</ul>
<li>In situations where it's not possible to take a complex SGD, using a simple SGD that allows you to quickly and easily add a message may be a better fit.</li>
<ul>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dpLw2CxsgCU/UpeINvb0JUI/AAAAAAAABwk/4VGg-KDmQEE/s1600/outing.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>
<li>school trips</li>
<li>community outings</li>
<li>sports events </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uCaLqIBdoMo/UpeIILkQw5I/AAAAAAAABwc/fDsRDP20SPU/s1600/play.bmp" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uCaLqIBdoMo/UpeIILkQw5I/AAAAAAAABwc/fDsRDP20SPU/s1600/play.bmp" /></a>
<li>These devices are often useful for activities in which the primary goal is <b>participation. </b></li>
<ul>
<li>Lines for a play, a speech or announcements can be recorded on a simple speech generating device as it's not likely that they will be used in communication at a later date. The use of simple speech generating device can also simplify the physical access so that a child can be successful when they are in the spotlight.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Sometimes it's fun to be the leader. Record the sequential instructions for an activity e.g. baking, painting or a scavenger hunt.</li>
</ul>
Here are some other great ideas to make use of a simple SGD.<br />
