Are they're able to communicate
podcast-host
through spelling and then how do they respond when you model through spelling and word prediction?
podcast-host
I don't remember who it was, Chris, who we had on the podcast, but we had an autistic adult who said they actually think way faster and better through spelling than they do through symbols.
podcast-host
And so I think that it's just individual preferences based on what I know from autistic adults who have shared their experience.
podcast-host
So I would lean into whatever the student is showing and try to kind of adapt around it.
podcast-host
Yes, like the icons can be a lot faster, but if that's not the way that the student's brain is kind of processing and thinking, then, you know, we need to kind of lean into what the student is showing interest in and
podcast-host
Yeah, I think it's very common.
podcast-host
A lot of students, I have a lot of students who are spelling, but they're not using symbols.
podcast-host
And it's interesting.
podcast-host
But I think that those students can be really successful with using literacy, but making sure that we're modeling in that modality.
podcast-host

podcast-host
Yes.
podcast-host
And also, Dr. Angeline Franks, yes, says texting is such a common way of communicating these days.
podcast-host
I think there would be a lot of opportunity there once they start communicating via text.
podcast-host
100% yes.
podcast-host
Are you guys familiar?
podcast-host
There's a website called i, like the letter i, faketextmessage.com.
podcast-host
Yes.
podcast-host
It is awesome.
podcast-host
It's a screen, like a phone screen, and you can input like kind of this text conversation.
