Exploring with our five senses is always fun! Open up the describe folder on their #AACdevice and ask open ended questions: "What do you see?" How does it taste?" Then watch them explore and do something other than request or label! #saymorewithcore #RISDgreatness @gheeagles

AAC users need to be able to say more than, "I want . . ." They need to tell their story and comment on yours. Give them the words to tell you what they think. Move beyond requesting. Read: assistiveware.com/learn-aac/… #beyondrequesting #AAC
ALT AssistiveWare November Expressing needs and wants Don’t get stuck on requesting Making requests is motivating for all of us. Many AAC users get really good at it. However, there is far more to communication than just requesting. There are many more reasons to communicate. Give AAC users the words to share information, tell stories, make comments, and tell us what they think. Teach and model different communication functions.
