My students are non verbal and minimally verbal; they communicate using alternate and augmentative communication (AAC) to express their wants and needs. They are learning how to use picture symbols to communicate with a variety of people. My students must show proficiency in recognizing and using picture symbols to be eligible for an AAC.
Core vocabulary words are high frequency, reusable, generic words, and they comprise of 80-90% of the words we use (e.g., hi, bye, more, bathroom, finished, go, stop, again). These books will aid teaching core vocabulary and their picture symbols in a meaningful way with repeated exposure. Additionally, they need laminating sheets and Velcro to adapt the books.
