Animal sounds & Old MacDonald came up a lot last week.
- We used symbols & communication boards
- Students told me with eye gaze which sounds to make.
- One student is really enjoying telling us to include people's names in song so instructed us with #TDSnap .

Universal communication supports. As part of a tiered approach to AAC support, these communication boards, as well as other visuals, are in all classes.

We're aiming to provide access and embed modelling of language using AAC throughout the whole school.

I was chatting with a student when one of her classmates was being funny and silly. We couldn't find 'silly' on our devices so it was the perfect opportunity to show different ways to search for a word. We searched, spelled and explored some new words.

How do you make a visual scene display? Here is how we do it with Scene & Heard Pro #augcomm #visualscenedisplay

Visual timetable within Scene & Heard Pro lets you connect scenes with the times and days that those events occur. Cooking class at 10am on Monday? Then set your visual scene for cooking to open at 10am on Monday! #augcomm #visualscenedisplay #visualtimetable

With this group we were playing the Cosmo 'All the same' activity by Filisia.
We used communication boards, devices and Makaton signs to talk about the colours and go over the concept of making them the 'same.'
