April 18th

Today we learned about prompting and cueing. We did this by using playdoh and bubbles with partners. The teacher modeled it and then the student would repeat what the teacher did. At the beginning of class we went over AAC and made a story that we turned in on reggie net. Today we also went over the LAIP 4. I do not feel confident that the directions were clear. Everything seems very scattered and many people do not know what is expected, especially with the presentation that you brought up today. I think boardmaker also makes things very difficult and the labs have very limited hours.

April 4th Class

We listened to the guest speaker talk about AAE (Alternative and augmentative communication). I really enjoyed listening to his presentation and his passion for working with AAC was very inspiring. I enjoyed learning about AAC through a presentation rather than reading about it in a book. It was great! At the end of class I got to ask a lot of questions about my LAIP 3 which was very helpful.

In class today we learned about different types of visual strategies. We looked through the book at sections that covered: To Give Information, To Give directions, To organize, and To mediate the environment. During class we also talked about visual strategies to  use in LAIP 3.
