Super cool coloring
Turn old menus, CD cases or DVD cases into coloring/writing tools. Slip paper inside and get out the washable markers or dry erase markers (non smelling)! Color - wipe - color - wipe. Practice names, patterns, dot-to-dots and more. This is also great for some special needs situations - for children who get frustrated that their work is not 'perfect' the first time. No worries; they can erase and start again!

Summer is over in our part of the world and that means we get the opportunity to work with a whole new crop of students and clients. There is so much for beginning clinicians to know about providing AAC services that it is intimidating at best and overwhelming in most cases.
Research shows that the best learning environments are those in which the students are engaged, active, and moving. In 2012, Loudoun County Public Schools implemented a number of Xbox Kinect consoles for students with disabilities. Participants in this session will learn about the positives and pitfalls of the implementation process as well as the progress made by students using the technology. The session will include a discussion of technical and environmental considerations, account creation, avatar generation and customization, games selection, online collaboration and communication (using Avatar Kinect), and case studies describing specific IEP goal progressions and comparisons. Let's play!
