After a few technical glitches on a recent visit, the student decided we were done with school stuff. She asked if she could tell me a joke. We took turns telling jokes, saying whether they were funny or not. Love that her mum updates her jokes so she has new ones to tell!

Are you down with the vibe? Read Ceanna's most recent blog post on how to add a "vibe" when communicating using AAC apps and devices here bit.ly/blog211024 or via the QR code below. Very fitting given the theme for #AACaware24 was "Vibes of AAC".

Printed resources, objects & AAC to sing 5 Little Frogs. The student wanted to use the little plastic jumping frogs, as an added bonus he worked on his fine motor skills to make them jump in the pool. With symbols & device he instructed me to sing at different volumes and speeds.

Playing with balloons while modelling paper & power-based AAC options. Between an app, this board, Makaton, speech & gestures, he said he wanted a different colour of balloon, I had to blow it up, let go then he had to find where it landed (I had to stay on the seat & not move).
