Modeling AAC isn’t about getting kids to repeat us. It’s about giving them the language so they can create their own messages 💬 This is such a great example of: ✔️ jumping in when support is needed ✔️ backing off when it’s not ✔️ staying quiet enough for student communication to shine That pause? That wait time? That’s where independent, novel communication grows. Want to learn how to do this? Comment a “boot26“. #aac #modelingaac #presumecompetence #multimodalcommunication #autismeducation | A

Day 5 of AAC Awareness Month! Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is keep it simple. Today, I’m modeling just ONE word — MONKEY! — throughout this adapted book. 🐵 Starting small makes AAC modeling feel doable for teachers and paraprofessionals. It builds confidence, consistency, and FUN! Each small moment of modeling adds up to more language opportunities for our students all day long. 💬🩷 #AACAwarenessMonth #aac #autismlittlelearners #speechtherapy #preschoolspecialeducation #corevoca

This is what modeling on an AAC system looks like! ➡️ Model without expectation. ➡️ Model even if they’re not looking at the device. Not making eye contact or not looking at the device does not mean that he isn’t attending or interested. ➡️ Add the gestalts they’re currently using and those that you’re modeling as well. ➡️ Add things that are meaningful to that child like special interests. 📧 Want to learn more about attention & AAC?
