For the students in this classroom finding a” yes and no” signal that was consistent proved to be difficult and almost impossible for the children. Movements and efforts were too laborious and often took away from valuable learning and communication time. For students in this classroom, the student’s “best yes” was used as a means for them to navigate their communication system. Each student had their own unique yes and in some instances students had more than one way to say yes. For some students we asked them how they were going to say yes and used that method in communication activities. For other students we used positive movements, eye contact to shape their “yes” response. Stay tuned for video of the system being used in the classroom!
