SUGGESTIONS FOR AAC BOARDS
uhh idk, i haven’t seen a lot of suggestion posts for what buttons to add to your AAC so i made one. here are my suggestions for super basic buttons
- yes, no, maybe, i don’t know
- sorry, (it’s) okay, please, thank you
- who, what, where, when, why, how
- like, dislike, love, hate
- what were you going to say?
add an acknowledgment section for phrases that show you’re acknowledging what people have to say (oh, yeah, that’s interesting, cool, etc.)
- thats transphobic/homophobic/racist/sexist/ableist/etc.
- intended or not, you’re being rude
- it’s ableist to take away someone’s communication device, either by force, or by asking them to stop using it.
- autism is not an intellectual disability, it’s a neurodevelopmental disability, it can come with commorbid intellectual disabilities, but that isn’t inherent
- no, not everyone is, quote unquote, on the spectrum, autism is a serious disability, not everyone has it.
- i’m having a verbal shutdown (depends on the user)
- i don’t want to verbalize right now (depends on the user)
- AAC stands for augmentative and alternative communication
- AAC is for anyone who needs or wants to use it
- i use AAC for/to/because… (depends on user)
- i would describe myself as [verbality label such as nonverbal, semi-verbal, verbalflux, selectively mute, etc]
- your verbality label and its definition
- please don’t look at my screen while i’m talking without asking
- please don’t talk on my behalf
- i am using buttons right now instead of typing, so i may be slower than normal
- sorry, i’m still typing
- my device needs to be charged so i can speak
I WILL MAKE MORE POSTS ON THIS!!
