🌟 Modeling Without Expectations: The Heart of AAC Communication 🌟 When supporting a child who uses AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), one of the most powerful things you can do is model words and phrases — without expecting your child to copy or respond right away. 💬 That means: Talking with your child, not at them. Using their AAC device naturally during play, routines, and real moments. Showing them how words can be used for fun, connection, and choice — not just for “right a

Comment “ME25” to learn more about modeling without expectation ! AAC isn’t just for words! When you’re counting, measuring, or doing number activities, it’s the perfect time to model numbers on your AAC system. Modeling during math time helps students see that AAC can be used for all kinds of communication — not just talking about objects or actions. Start small: 👉 Model while you count toys or steps 👉 Use number words during routines (“2 more minutes!”) 👉 Celebrate every modeled moment 🎉 L

This is what modeling on an AAC system looks like! ➡️ Model without expectation. ➡️ Model even if they’re not looking at the device. Not making eye contact or not looking at the device does not mean that he isn’t attending or interested. ➡️ Add the gestalts they’re currently using and those that you’re modeling as well. ➡️ Add things that are meaningful to that child like special interests. 📧 Want to learn more about attention & AAC? Consider taking our AAC for GLPs course which will teach you

Comment “lovevery” for the link. 🚦 “Stop” and “Go” have never been so fun to model! I’m using the Touch Chat AAC app to demonstrate modeling without expectation while playing with this awesome toy from @Lovevery. 🎉 Their toys are not only durable (a must-have for preschoolers!), but also thoughtfully designed for young children in the exploratory stage of play. 🧸💡In this stage, kids are all about discovering and experimenting with how things work—pushing, pulling, stacking, dumping, and more

Elizabeth Nielsen on Instagram: "Here’s a quick video of what modeling AAC during play can look like. ✨Remember: model on the AAC device without the expectation that your child says anything back. Prompts like “say it” or “tell me” can place a demand on the child before they’re ready. When a device turns into a testing tool, motivation to use it often decreases. Learning language should be fun! If you completed the AAC modeling challenge, send your tracker to tinyvoicetherapy@gmail.com by Februa

Modeling AAC isn’t about getting kids to repeat us. It’s about giving them the language so they can create their own messages 💬 This is such a great example of: ✔️ jumping in when support is needed ✔️ backing off when it’s not ✔️ staying quiet enough for student communication to shine That pause? That wait time? That’s where independent, novel communication grows. Want to learn how to do this?
