The other reason is that these devices are also highly specialized, and quite expensive, so it’s not always easy to get our hands on the latest and greatest AAC hardware. First, AAC apps and hardware are typically recommended by speech-language pathologists.

A ended up getting a second holder because my girls wants to put up their cards, just like I did on the fridge.We don’t spend a lot of time talking about Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) apps, and that’s for a couple reasons.

We also use these card to pick a card and do animal walks.

I printed out animal card and made them into a matching game, just a fun way to build vocabulary.

We take turns acting them out and then finding and saying them with the AAC app.

I printed of emotions cards and we use them as a charades type game.

In the future I plan to make examples like this for my daughter to use as a reminder during tasks (like on a placement during meals). It helped everyone to know what were reasonable things my daughter could say based on what words she had already mastered. I made 2-3 word phrases each week focusing on target core words and put this up as visual example for all the adults who were modeling with my child.

I bought a holder from a teacher supply store and put it on our fridge.

You can customize them (change the label, symbol, or add you own photos), which as needed to make sure it matched what we used on our device at home. The online program allows you to create and save boards where the pictures are of a variety of sizes. I purchased an online subscription to S ymbolStixs and used this to create a variety of cards.

Not as wonderful as giving the visual example to the child, but easy and motivating!)Ĭards. We are not worried about verb tenses yet, so it reads a little awkward, but things like “I go playground,” “Daddy help me,” and “I like swing.” (We also found this to be really easy to do on our smart phones and computer- just pull up the photos folder and start talking about what and who you see while modeling on the Ipad app. Children love to look at photos of themselves, so we took family photos and made short books with labels using screen shots for core words. Labels on the doll house, people, and props.Once again, I watched my older daughter play and how she was using language during play. I found that using language during these motivating pretend play games to be very productive. We found that using the screen shot symbols helped build my daughter’s visual skills to learn the symbols and find them on the screen. There are tons of great books that allow for the practice of body parts, emotions, zoo animals, farm animals, and a variety of adjectives (colors, shapes…). While I think working on core words is critical, we also needed to expose my daughter to typical vocab for her age. A last way we used books is to expand vocabulary in a fun way.Once again, I printed of screen shots and cut them up, then taped the question words as a reminder on the page. I used these books as a great way to practice asking questions. A second kind of book that children love are books with flaps to open.I made screen shots and printed them out, then cut them up and taped them to the book.

For example, “Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?…” I took a few of these kind of books and replaced the repetitive words with sentences made of the symbols from our app set-up. Some of the first books children love are books with high levels of repetition that the child can participate by “reading” along.My thought was she needed a better way to participate in the reading activity. She loved to hold books on her own and pretend to read, but was resistant to listening to us read to her. I was getting disheartened that my youngest daughter wasn’t enjoying reading as much as I wanted. Our home is filled with books of every kind. I was lucky enough to have a slightly older daughter at home to take ideas from by watch what play activities she naturally used language during. As a pediatric OT, I felt strongly about find ways to use the AAC app during normal play activities that were motivating to my child. This post is just to share example activities we have done with my toddler/preschooler as she is using Proloquo2go to learn to communicate.
