Designing an Augmentive Communication System to Meet the Demands of Home and Community

This post describes how to design an augmentive communication system to enhance a students communication skills.

Providing new opportunities for communication for students who use low-tech communication devices does not need to entail time-consuming construction of communication boards.  A wealth of resources have been developed to infuse the practice of augmentive communication within activities for school, home, and the community.  Teachers can use Boardmaker, copy the boards, laminate them, and use them during the context of activities so the students can practice their communication skills.
