A few years ago I shared links to free printable communication resources I compiled for families.

People kindly added to them. It later became a document with links & QR codes.

Now, it's a Wakelet of links, organised by symbol set.

As it's #MathsWeekScotland I did a counting story with my son. My son loved organising the printed images for each part of the story. We counted, added and subtracted as we went. He also constructed sentences with AAC apps.

As always, the Communication Matters Conference was fantastic! I learned so much from sessions & conversations. Loved meeting people from online in real life.
Had the best introduction from the person chairing our session on Communication Passports.
Lots to think about, lots to explore!

I visited my sister's classroom as she was doing some prep for the new term.
We added to labels and visual supports to support instructions & routines, communication supports for activities and for any reason.
Video shows signage, AAC boards and posters, activity-specific visuals, visual sequences.

Wish I'd recorded this conversation. My son found my old work lanyard, asked my niece if she knew what the symbols were for. She said 'to help.' He said yes, wanted to show her how, said we're leaving in '3, 2, 1' (there's a countdown strip on the lanyard).
Then had a chat pointing to symbols:

Same idea as my last post, different app. I've uploaded these rating scales to Smartbox Online Grids.
First part of the clip shows Grid for iPad with 6 different 3-point rating scales. Second part of the clip shows Grid 3, same rating scales but with an additional rest cell.
Links below.

Forgot to upload to Pageset Central (TD Snap) it's there now. Six 3-point rating scales - details in thread. I've used to discuss opinions, access methods, topics & AAC options. 
Here's the link or search 'Ratings - 3 point scales' on Pageset Central: www.mytobiidynavox.com/psc/TDSnap/7...
