October is AAC, Augmentative and Alternative Communication, Awareness Month! From expressing our feelings, standing up for ourselves, and giving information, communication serves so many purposes in our daily lives. Thus, this resource is wonderful because it builds language for all communication functions! Some communication functions being targeted in these resources are the following: requesting, greeting, refusal, commenting, protesting, questions, and sharing information. After reading, scroll down and download the free AAC language books such as the "What Does J***y Want" books or "What J***y and Jenny Like" to target a different goal every week.

As we go back to school here are some tips for taking notes and studying for our older kids from a person who has ADHD. Each person is different and some of these may work for your child but each person has their own ways of learning.

1. Cursive writing- kept up with my brain and kept me concentrating
1. Color code by importance
a. Example easy to knock out stuff in green
2. Lists of projects that week and in priority
3. Motivating breaks when you get to a certain point
a. Examples Dance breaks
b. Video breaks
c. Pet your animals
4. Review/Quiz yourself while in line or while doing chores
5. Sitting in a place without distractions
6. Moving fidgets/ distractions (salt shakers, pens, stacking items) out of the way unless fidgets are helping
7. Using appropriate fidgets and movement breaks
8. Reread notes
9. Rewrite notes
a. Helps with color coding
b. Understanding/ ask questions if needed
c. Re-writing helps form connections in the brain and helps you remember it
10. Pneumonic devices particularly for long ideas
11. Increase exercising before/ after and during if needed
12. Avoid sugary cereal instead maybe oatmeal bars for the car or quick meals/ snacks
13. Gum/ mints at home
14. Drawing or doodling if paying attention

As a new school approaches, it may be difficult for children to adjust to a change in their routine. A social story is a great way to help children anticipate the changes in routine and learn the expectations of going back to school. Use the following link to locate a printable social story about going back to school. There are two versions available, for female and male teachers! We recommend reading the story with your child once a day to prepare them for the upcoming school year!

Our Back to School Social Story will prepare your student with autism for his new classroom and teacher. Free download!
