This will help set everyone up for success with remote learning. Click here. If you can only choose one resource to begin with, this video is excellent. It does take an hour to watch.

Links to communication boards can be found here.

Also check out this page for videos of demonstrations practicing core words.

Student Activities

Have students watch videos featuring the core word "not". Model how to find and select the word on their devices or communication boards while watching the videos. If this is easy, make it more challenging! Model sentences like "Not like" or "I do not [want]" Feel free to pause the video and watch as many times as you would like.

Choose one activity to complete 5 minutes each day. Focus on modeling the word "eat" during this time. Review these ideas for an activity to try that you think your child would find fun.

• If your child protests (e.g., doesn't want to go somewhere or eat something), then model 'not', 'not want', or 'not go'.

• Engage in silly toy play with your child. For example, if playing with 'Mr. Potato Head', put an eye where the mouth should be. Then model, "Not here!..... "It goes there!".

• Word games: "I see daddy" when sister comes in the room. Then model 'not' on the device and say "That's not daddy. That's sister!".

• While playing with puzzles, if your child places a piece in the wrong place, model "Not" on his/her device while saying "Not here."
