Backup of any device is an important part of implementation of assistive technology. Creating a backup plan and trialing it can help to limit a student's loss of learning and participation (and save time).

Other Considerations around AAC Backups and Multimodal means of Communication:
Other Considerations around AAC Backups and Multimodal means of Communication:
Printed & Laminated copy of the user's main pages of their device (one copy for school and one copy for home)
This supports communication if high tech device is unavailable
See this blog post on how to create a paper communication book from your student's high tech device
Portable power bank for the classroom (such as this)
Allows student to move around the classroom/school while charging their device battery
Gesture Dictionary (practice and shape student's easily replicated gestures into communication understood by all)
Common location for important backup files and documents
Create a shared google drive for the district or building with different folders for each classroom.
Store digital backup files, gesture dictionaries, communication notes/plans
What about when devices are out for long term repairs??
Use that time to practice gestures, partner assisted scanning using low tech pages, developing reliable yes/no responses, etc.
