Always love running PD, but this group made it even better. Great questions, rich discussion - all in an effort to ensure that nonspeaking and/or minimally verbal students have access to AAC! @TCDSBSpeechLang @PStachiwTCDSB @EquityTCDSB.
Today’s AAC Foundations Course was a huge success! A big thank you to the AACcess and Autism Team SLPs for showing us how to use core vocabulary in daily classroom practice and to the @stpaschal_tcdsb and Blessed Margherita staff for joining us today 🗣️🗯️ @AaccessT @PStachiwTCDSB

Official launch of the Playground Communication Board. This is just one example of how TCDSB SLPs partner with schools to support the needs of non-speaking/minimally verbal students. For info, speak to your school SLP. @TCDSBSpeechLang @PStachiwTCDSB @stpaschal_tcdsb @msiamundo.
What displays photos, symbols and pictures to help people with limited language skills to express themselves?? Our ELP Communication Board! #communication @BottosMichelle @mariarizzo @GrassaCharlie @TCDSB @Equity_TCDSB @ONTSpecialNeeds

Check out this creative “object choice board” made for a student with complex communication needs. After more than two months of weekly video chat sessions with mom, this little guy is ready to move towards understanding and using a more symbolic communication system 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

We couldn’t have said it better @ACSLP1. Every student using AAC should have AACcess to his/her communication board, book or device at all times. A shelf is NO PLACE for a voice. #AACforALL #accessequalschoice

Another successful TALK TIP TIME! We were so lucky to have such a wonderful group of teachers, support staff, and fellow SLPs join us as we made “Bunny Toast”. We made the snack LIVE while modeling CORE VOCABULARY on our visual recipe, classroom CORE BOARD, and desktop CORE BOARD

Well said @VanreenenTammy.
Play isn't only fun. Play is essential as it contributes to a child's cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being. As Mya's play skills are taking off, her communication skills are too. Let's all work together to enrich students' play! @HCDSB_SLP_CDA @1958holycross
