Why shouldn’t I worry about my child getting “lazy to talk” pointing to picture symbols or using AAC? (AAC- Augmentative and Alternative Communication). 💪🏻 Main reason - decades of research and AAC users who speak, have proven that it works. This is why ⬆️

Yes! Yes! I have a lyric communication board with symbols for a song that helps our children to understand and learn these words and feelings in a fun way 🎵 and then in the moment, we have the foundation of vocabulary to draw from 🩵💪🏻 to associate with the real feeling.

🤔 Difficulty transitioning between home and school?? Symbols and visual supports are evidence based language development tools and they work INCREDIBLY well for communication skills, decreasing anxiety and executive function 💪🏼 But if the use of symbols is not similar at school and at home then it can be perceived as “uncomfortably different” which makes the transition to school so much harder 😭😭

However, if we use the visuals a little more at home and create a sameness and consistency between the two environments, then the anxiety decreases and they learn that using symbols is ok and safe, because it’s happening now at home too. (Communication skills will improve too!)

Consistency is KEY for decreasing anxiety. And picture symbols don’t change ‼️ They are the ultimate way to make consistency and sameness obvious for your Autistic or neurodivergent child.
