https://padlet.com/lcameron/u7yfxcuhzf8t ~ A collection of thoughts, ideas, and reflections from our learning at the AAC workshop with Chris Bugaj ~ en-us 2019-08-28 02:38:03 UTC 2026-01-15 19:13:14 UTC hello@padlet.com landrews17 https://padlet.com/lcameron/u7yfxcuhzf8t/wish/377867049 I loved this quote! I am thinking about some of the tools Chris shared and how we can use them to support our EAs and teachers who are communication partners. How do we get to the place where students are using their communication devices across environments....and beyond just requesting something? ]]> 2019-08-28 13:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lcameron/u7yfxcuhzf8t/wish/377867049 landrews17 https://padlet.com/lcameron/u7yfxcuhzf8t/wish/377867975 I am curious what this looks like across the jurisdiction? Do we want to have a common practice?]]> 2019-08-28 13:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lcameron/u7yfxcuhzf8t/wish/377867975 landrews17 https://padlet.com/lcameron/u7yfxcuhzf8t/wish/377868576 Chris shared this last night]]> 2019-08-28 13:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lcameron/u7yfxcuhzf8t/wish/377868576 https://padlet.com/lcameron/u7yfxcuhzf8t/wish/377892589 As educators we need to guide our students over time with the right tools to be able to spontaneously generate novel utterances.
Language is Power!

No need to start with low tech, teach it to the student, then move on to something app based. ]]> 2019-08-28 15:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lcameron/u7yfxcuhzf8t/wish/377919173 https://padlet.com/lcameron/u7yfxcuhzf8t/wish/378107439 Expect and work towards Spontaneous Novel Utterances Generated (SNUG) using core vocabulary and believe that they will.

It’s so important not to rush or miss any of these key steps and to always provide the appropriate wait times.

Get away from the simple yes/no response.
