Let me de-influence you...

You often see neat and tidy set ups, videos and photos, but here is the reality of communication set ups in my classroom.

Paint splattered, upside down symbols, ripped folders, folded symbols and sentence starters.

BUT

It is all functional and used effectively!

This is my favourite term, with my favourite topics! Under the sea, seaside, and ice cream shops!

☀️ My vocab in play document can help to support language development.

☀️ It has a range of play scenarios such as water, sand, bubbles, trains, etc.

☀️ The document can take away the stress of finding new language to explore and change up the language focus.

☀️ Each page has core language, fringe language and a mixture of phrases to be modelled and used in play or when exploring sensory items.

If you’d like this document, which has a free bubbles 🫧 download! Then check out the comments ⬇️

Taste-safe alternatives for your RISE sessions!

Sometimes we must swap out our go-to resources, for safety purposes!

When it comes to using resources for sensory purposes, we always still take into consideration allergens, size of the item, and PICA and mouthing tendencies.

Here are a few of our go-to swaps, what are yours?

What is a Total Communication Approach? 💬

It’s is accepting and validating all forms of communication!

A Total Communication Approach means we don’t rely on just one method, we use a mixture of vocalisations, AAC, signs, symbols, gestures and more!

Our learners deserve the same variety of communication methods, that we naturally use every day.

The more opportunities we provide, the more chances they have to communicate, connect, and be heard!

THIS!! I have been meaning to make a video on social stories and what we can and cannot use for social stories. But Catrina has explained it perfectly here!
