Hi there, old friends! I'm in the market for a pre-loved iPad I can use to model AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) for "my" telehealth public school students who have trouble accessing their oral speech. It just has to be iOS 11 or later to run the AAC app my new district seems to like. Anybody have an old iPad I can buy or borrow, or know anybody who does?

If anyone tells you otherwise, they're actually telling you that they don't know much about teaching AAC!⁣

Text reads: They don't need to match pictures, discriminate pictures, do receptive ID, go through all the stages of PECS, be able to point, be a certain age, prove cognitive abilities, be primarily non-speaking or be ready in any way. P.S. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're actually telling you that they don't know much about teaching AAC!

What do you think of when you think of functional communication?⁣

Image description: Bitmoji of white woman with brown hair smiling at bottom left.
Text reads: quote/unquote functional communication
Under large red X to indicate functional communication is not:
Primarily requesting (i.e., asking for things)
Limited to topics related to physical needs and activities of daily living
Disproportionate emphasis on toileting, bathroom
Limited language that is selected by someone other than the communicator
Under large green check mark to indicate functional communication is:
Expressing your opinions and preferences
Requesting what you want/need
Protesting undesired actions, events, items
Disagreeing, complaining, arguing negotiating, telling people off
Asking questions to get information about your life and topics that interest you.
Talking about personal experiences and the world around you
Self-advocating and making decisions related to your own life
Using language to regulate yourself and your environment, as well as to direct others
Establishing and growing relationships with others
LITERACY! The ability to read and write allows complete communication autonomy.
It's any communication skills and/or strategies that allow you to "function" in the life YOU want to live!

I share a lot of tips and tricks to get your little ones communicating - but sometimes it’s helpful to not what NOT to do. So here’s a list of my top three “Don’t try these at home” *unless your child enjoys this or wants you to, in which case, do it!

What would you add, or what doesn’t work with your kids? 👇🏼

Well hello there, old friends! I hope you all are well and happy!

I will be taking on a (very) small caseload of private-pay home/community visits in the Louisville area this summer. If you are interested in a short course of speech therapy from mid-June to to late-August, please send me a message and I'll send you the details.

We're doing our last visits at Well Said this week... so many emotions, truly.

I'm selling and giving away most of my office stuff and need everything out by December 15. If anyone is interested in adopting something, please let me know!
