In our video post this week, we’re sharing a number of video clips demonstrating interactions between children with vision and hearing loss and their interventionists. We love the child-directed nature of the interactions and the contingent responses from the adults. The connections they are making strengthen the foundation for future language development. Take a look. Direct Link to Videos: http://vimeo.com/search?q=teaching+prelinguistic+communication

“I eat biscuits when I talk about things.” “How about yesterday?” “What do you like making?” “Kay said, Put away toys.” “What did you say?” “After meeting we did go eat mini burger.” “What did you eat for dinner?” “I will eat one biscuit now.” Isn’t it a treat to see kids really using core language? There is so much to love about this video of Kingsley, a youngster with autism, and his dad. From the child-directed interaction, to the contingent responding, to the language elicitation strategies (e.g., “You start”), to reminders about punctuation, to the sheer love of interaction, and more. This is one to savor. Direct link to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jHWeD9ivc0

Our very favorite videos to share are those that feature the ideas of people who use AAC. Today, we’re excited to share a wonderful video from the Communication Friends group in Scotland. Their video was produced with funding from the Scottish initiative, ‘A Right to Speak.’ These folks have some great tips. “Don’t be scared of this fancy machine. Switch it on and I’ll do the rest.” What an amazing group of therapists and communicators! Take a look: Direct link to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx338vnATIA&feature=youtu.be

Looking for ways to support communicators with physical challenges? Laser pointers can be one way to provide access to communication boards and the alphabet. OT Margaret Cotts shows how it works in this interaction between a healthcare professional and a client with ALS. Although today’s featured video focuses on a client with ALS, this is an access tool that could work for individuals with other motor limitations as well.

Having great AAC technology is not much help if the client can’t access it, but sometimes big access issues can be solved with little tweaks. In this video, Sue Russell, from the Boston Children’s Augmentative Communication Program, gives us some ideas for easy-to-make switch mounts. Direct link to video: http://youtu.be/yEsYacnzjNY
