Get the whole team on the same page (literally).
This one-page AAC handout gives teachers and paraprofessionals everything they need to support students who use a speech device, all day, in every setting. No jargon, no 40-page manual. Just print it, pass it out, and watch your team get confident.
What’s inside:
Why we skip “PECS first” and give students a talker right away
An easy “Instead of… / Try this” chart for modeling, waiting, and responding
What to do when a student pulls away or says no (hint: honor it!)
Core words to model beyond snack time: go, stop, more, help, like, not, uh oh, funny
Perfect for: IEP meetings, back-to-school trainings, sub binders, and parents who want to share best practices with their child’s school team.
Created by Melba Acey, MSP, CCC-SLP, AAC specialist and founder of AAC Adventure. Based on current research on AAC preference, modeling, and student autonomy.
