I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and recharging for the new school year! In response to the modeling challenge issued by Dana Nieder from the Uncommon Sense Blog, some adult Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) users have expressed an interest in a 21 day challenge geared towards adult/teen users. If you are looking for a way to increase fluency and use, give it a try! You may also find some of these activities helpful if you are a family member or professional who wants to learn an AAC system to support the individual(s) with complex communication needs (CCN) in your life more fluently.
If any of the activities make you uncomfortably anxious, modify them for your needs.
This challenge incorporates increasing vocabulary (semantics), socialization (pragmatics), expanding use of verb tenses (syntax), increasing device fluency, generalization and operational skills (programming and backing up vocabulary)! Have fun!
