Core boards are the thing.

but there is something better.
podcast-host
the thing now, which is great.
podcast-host
We have students who have access to paper-based AAC early on.
podcast-host
Great.
podcast-host
I'm asking.
podcast-host
Please.

The
podcast-host
there
podcast-host
I like to start with high tech that we use a lot in the room and the teachers see are familiar with and then modify from there if the student can't.
podcast-host
I mean, I think that we have this idea that we need to start with low tech or light tech AAC.
podcast-host
And
podcast-host
I'm here to tell you that you don't.
podcast-host
And I recognize sometimes we don't always have access to high-tech AAC, or it takes us time to get it in the hands of students, or I understand that there are limitations.
podcast-host
However, I also think there's this
podcast-host
this idea that we have to prove that a student, you know, can use low-tech AAC before they get to graduate to high-tech AAC.
podcast-host
Or, you know, the student is so young that, like, let's just start with a paper-based communication board, and then we'll move to high-tech.
podcast-host
And so...
podcast-host
I don't think that's true.
podcast-host
I work with very young students, early intervention, birth to three, where the student is still developing the fine motor to be able to kind of even activate a high-tech AAC device.
