AAC Practice Blog :)

Banner is for the sillies MINOR

[anonymousaac]

Hooray! Pinned post.

Hoping if I make a blog just for practice I can become more comfortable with using it

I don’t have anything fancy, i use Cboard, text to speech or just nodding/shaking my head, the head gestures I’m most comfortable with but the Cboard is most helpful for me so. Trying to practice and feel less bad using it (feeling like i “don’t need it” or am taking resources from others because of being a part time user)

Some posts may not be screen reader friendly but I try very hard to make sure all are! Please alert me if I’ve done my plaintext wrong

Please call me one of the names from other blogs or just Anon :)

Ask/they pronouns, I/me and we/us interchangeably for ourself, tone tags appreciated. Also important to note we have some form of physical disability and are a suspected system

Articulation can be a big struggle at times, be patient and feel free to ask for rephrasing/elaboration

PT: My cat Socks is very weird because he really likes water. In my life I have never seen a cat who likes water as much as Socks. End PT

He sits in sinks. I love him but buddy do you know you are a cat? Also have another picture of when he was a younger kitten. Aw

[sssnek-king]

PT: I think I’m starting to realize my life is kinda bad. I have lots of comorbidity that makes it very hard to function. Every small task becomes so much harder then it should be. My symptoms are impossible to manage on my own and it’s even harder to ask for help. End PT

Wrong then but idc

Sorrryyyy this ones a lot more venty I can usually be optimistic.

PT: My legs have been in a lot of pain recently. My mom says she will not take me to the doctor because I can’t describe the pain. I can describe the pain but I can not use mouth words to do it. I have not told her about AAC because she always says I “need to use my words.” End PT

It’s a different kind of hell I swear

[anonymousaac]

PT: My AAC will not pronounce plural words correctly. It pronounces the S separately. I’m sure my point still gets across but I am still upset. End PT

Ignore the separate block being spelled wrong you don’t see that. It’s funny to me that I can spell the longest word in the English dictionary (the lung disease one) but I can’t spell separate.

[anonymousaac]

PT: I am talking with mouth words on the phone right now. I am starting to get expensive speech but I don’t know if my CBoard will go through over the phone well. End PT

Also we are about to play a game so i can use the chat maybe

[anonymousaac]

PT: Rabbits and hares are not the same thing. People always say they are the same thing and I do not like that because I really like hares. End PT

PT: I want to try to use my AAC when I go to the movies on Thursday. I am nervous because it will be my first time using my AAC in public because of anxiety and because my tablet is big and hard to carry from shoulder pain. But if I don’t chicken out then it will be good practice. End PT

talking about high tech I should mention

That way its less stress because you do not really talk at movies

PT: My cat Socks is very weird because he really likes water. In my life I have never seen a cat who likes water as much as Socks. End PT

He sits in sinks. I love him but buddy do you know you are a cat? Also have another picture of when he was a younger kitten. Aw

PT: Sometimes words can be hard to find because there are so many small words that are needed to put together sentences properly. I can make this a little more easy because I color the blocks. If I remember that “also” is a yellow word block then I can look for the color yellow and search less. Still, it is very difficult because I can’t remember every word color at all times and I add words twice because I can’t find them. End PT

[anonymousaac]

PT: My name is Charbie. Me and Vesper have been working on our CBoard for a while and I think it is going very well. We have added a lot more core words to it, but it seems like there is always more to do. End PT

Oh the Plain text is taking more energy to do that’s weird. Every time I turn around I’m adding new words but I think thats ok

[anonymousaac]

PT: I try to be optimistic about my disability but I am exhausted. So much of my life I spend being exhausted and I am tired of living like this. End PT

Yeah… on lighter notes gonna try to retheme my aac a bit

[anonymousaac]

PT: Black pepper makes my mouth hurt and burn. My mom keeps putting pepper on my food. She says “It’s not that spicy.” That makes me angry because she is not listening to my pain. End PT

Thats a long one . My mouth hurts omg dude i just wanted to eat

[anonymousaac]

PT: I want to try to brush my teeth this summer. Yippie End PT

[anonymousaac]

PT: I work on Cboard big time. My arm pain is bad now End PT
