This handout is designed for speech-language pathologists working with kids on verbal and non-verbal communication using AAC. The simple board includes 18 icons for basic words as well as suggestions for how to incorporate the board into structured therapy sessions.
5 low-tech AAC cards designed for people who want a low-key, basic, pocketable communication tool. The five cards feature an alphabet board, basic words (nurse, doctor, bathroom, medications, glasses, shoes), emojis to communicate emotions, a visual pain scale, and yes/no card with communication strategies.
A great way to “break the ice” among children in a group or even in one-on-one therapy is to ask get-to-know-you questions. This fun activity can also be used with children working on asking and answering questions, having conversations, and articulation carryover. Have them think of their own questions for an extra challenge!
