[NOBE-L] Questions about working with nonverbal children or children on the autism spectrum

[Jackie Larrauri]

Hello,

Thank you for the thoughts. I will be teaching in-person, which I'm glad about as I will be teaching preschool students. Although some (maybe one or two) students may come in with an AAC device, it is more likely that I would help them progress to this or verbal communication as appropriate through PECS or other picture systems.

Thank you again,

Jackie

    Hi Jackie, 
    I am interested in this question as well. I am not an educator, but a graduate student. I am not sure if you will be teaching in-person or virtually next year (I know of at least one school where instruction will remain virtual for the time being). 
    However, this summer I will be planning a Zoom event with a small group of people, one of whom is nonverbal and types to communicate. He is able to use the chat feature to say what he wants to say. I believe that one of his AAC devices also reads some of his words out and he can use it to pre-prepare content. 
    I hope this helps and I look forward to what others have to say.
    Thanks, 
    Vejas

    > I am writing to you ask if anyone has experience working with students who are nonverbal or students who have a diagnosis, or a suspected diagnosis of autism. I was hoping to get some strategies from all of you on whether you have worked with this population of students and if so, what you have done to be successful as I know this population usually require a lot of visuals.
