AAC Everywhere
We want to see AAC EVERYWHERE in our community! Having core boards and AAC visuals in all environments is incredibly powerful for all of our AAC users and raises awareness about augmentative and alternative communication amongst our community.
We love this bulletin board that was created by Jessica Palson, SLP. This beautiful display is both eye catching and functional! Anyone with communication challenges can use the board to interact with those around them by pointing to the words on the board. This fosters important social interaction in the hallways and provides more communication opportunities! For AAC users, having symbols posted everywhere not only enables communication but also nurtures a sense of belonging.
Jessica also included important reminders for AAC users and those who support them like, "Don't leave AAC in your backpack" and "Stop, do you have your AAC device?"
These visuals raise awareness about augmentative and alternative communication and celebrate our uniqueness and differences. This provides a great opportunity for AAC users and their peers to learn about diversity and inclusion!

December AACalendar
Post this AAC holiday themed calendar in your home, classroom, daycare, or wherever you spend your time. You'll get to reveal a new word each day! When you do, talk about the symbol, describe what it looks like and what it means, find it on your device or core board and use it in a sentence!
Click below to download and print this fun symbol-based calendar! The download includes a version with Symbolstix symbols as well as a version with Boardmaker PCS symbols.
Tip: The page without symbols can be used to hide the symbols on the calendar until you're ready to reveal them. Happy Holidays!

Light-tech AAC
Take screenshots of important pages, print them off, laminate & hang with zip-ties or binder clips & jump or splash to your heart's content!
We recommend printing large vinyl boards (2' x 3') to hang around the school (in the gym, hallways, and classroom) or outside near the playground or by your water table.
We've had success using VistaPrint to print our own: https://www.vistaprint.com
Assistiveware has their own link to print these using Zazzle: https://www.zazzle.ca/store/assistiveware
TobiiDynavox can also be contacted to order large coreboards directly from them.
