Designing Augmentative Communication Devices for All Environments

Since I’ve listed all the demands that augmentative communication devices need to meet in order to be effective means of communication for a student, I decided to include some resources teachers can use to help them design augmentative communication devices that will help meet those demands.

I Can Cook, Too! and Art for Me, Too! are two collections of activities that can be used in either the classroom or the home environments that students using augmentative communication devices can actively participate in. The activities are a fun way to help facilitate peer relationships and give students with augmentative communication devices opportunities to practice independence.

Boardmaker is a user friendly, time efficient way for teachers to create custom augmentative communication boards that will meet individual student needs for the classroom, the home, and the community.
