In this episode, Sarah gets coached by Rachel Madel, SLP on a case where she'd like to move beyond requesting with a student who uses AAC.

In this episode we talk about several tools of the trade, so I wanted to start by defining those:

_ We mention Rachel Madel’s YouTube channel in this episode, and she makes short, easily digestible videos on AAC there.

_ We also talk about the Melissa and Doug reusable sticker sets here, you can find those wherever you buy toys, including Amazon

_ Vooks is a website that you do need to pay for that has essentially video books, it’s one of the things I use in clinic

_ Canva is like Google Slides but much more robust, you can use it by going to canva.com

_ Loom is a website where you can record a quick video (under five minutes) and email a link to the video to someone else

Key Takeaways

Involve the whole team, but within your treatment session time
It's takes a team to work with students, and you aren't the only member of that team
If a student has something they love, consider working on increasing independence with that requesting with different people and in different environments
A visual schedule can be an asset (not a detriment) to students as long as it is flexible and has options the child chooses - this helps them know what's happening next
