Resources and ideas for teachers of learners with severe, profound, intensive, significant, complex or multiple special needs. The AAC through Motivate, Model and Move Out of the Way Facebook Group is having Summer Reading Contest. The goal of the contest is two fold: to have professionals and caregivers practice modeling and to create a free, online library of videos of storybooks being read aloud with AAC modeling happening during the reading. Please note: there doesn’t need to be AAC users present during the video - although it is not prohibited. The contest begins July 1, 2018 and closes August 1, 2018. The hope is that we will see videos posted of many robust AAC systems both electronic and non-electronic and many different and wonderful kids books. AAC related companies have been asked to donate some prizes (still looking for more! Message me if you have something to donate!). One prize will be given for the best overall video, and two will be randomly selected. Other prizes may be added! There are a few ways to model while reading, the simplest is to model the action of the reader and comments, such as, turn the page, look, This contest is looking for the modeling of core words (or common phrases) during the reading. For example, Marvin K. Mooney will YOU Your video should be useful for the AAC user(s) in your life. This contest is intended to be beneficial to the participant in that way. So model the language level or ability needed, it will be as*umed whatever language level you model is appropriate for your situation. We are not looking for videos which show the symbols for the words in isolation, we are looking for modeling that allows the watcher to see how to locate the targeted words - so please do NOT just read a book with symbols pasted in or use video editing to just add the symbols to the screen while you are reading, also do not use a board or page created just for that book (this includes do*nloaded or commercially available pages or boards just for that book). The goal is to teach kids to use the words they have already.
