MTV True Life: I Have Autism

This is the episode that Jeremy was in on MTV.  Follow him around through his high school classes and see first hand what his supports look like.  When a student is paired up to the AAC device that works best for them, it is truly remarkable.  Enjoy!

Language Stealers

When using any AAC, be sure to include core words.  Just using nouns and verbs is not enough to help non-verbal students communicate.  They need prepositions, simple verbs, adverbs and adjectives.  Think of the words that are necessary to communicate meaning, directions, wants, and needs. These are Core words.
