Tonight let's explore what Students First really means for students who need AT either for AAC and/or learning and instruction. #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:03 PM EDT

EGraniero Mar 23 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@mmatp are you also teaching a grad class at Simmons in Nov./Dec.? #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Q1 - What does putting students first look like in your practice? #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 Students first means listening to student voice, including them in the process as much as possible. #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 - Students first means giving choices #ATchat

gallianstone Mar 23 @ 8:08 PM EDT

S language and interests drive curriculum #atchat

possbeth Mar 23 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 for me it means thinking outside the box to balance responsibilities as admin and student needs #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 - Students first means TTWWADI must end. (That's The Way We've Always Done it). #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@possbeth How do you do that? #ATchat https://t.co/C0wAjZDHSb

possbeth Mar 23 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 for me it means thinking outside the box to balance responsibilities as admin and student needs #ATchat

mkeeneyAT Mar 23 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@mmatp seems like you could make your class hop on #atchat for extra credit. ;)

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@gallianstone What does that look like? #ATchat https://t.co/SUyFkiId1k

gallianstone Mar 23 @ 8:08 PM EDT

S language and interests drive curriculum #atchat

AACreATively Mar 23 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 Recently it has meant providing extensive paraprofessional training to help them best support the students #atchat

possbeth Mar 23 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 it means setting high expectations for ALL kids #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@mkeeneyAT @mmatp Best idea! #ATchat https://t.co/3j5Qi7xadN

mkeeneyAT Mar 23 @ 8:09 PM EDT

bcdtech Mar 23 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Stopping in for a few minutes... at a meeting #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@AACreATively Awesome. What kind of PD? #ATchat https://t.co/0Od9FlohrJ

AACreATively Mar 23 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 Recently it has meant providing extensive paraprofessional training to help them best support the students #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@possbeth Yes! Must presume competence and set high expectations #ATchat https://t.co/sv8lOvVXp4

possbeth Mar 23 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 it means setting high expectations for ALL kids #ATchat

possbeth Mar 23 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@KarenJan sometimes it means pushing my staff to try something new, outside their comfort zone #atchat

wanyebao8 Mar 23 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@KarenJan Students first means designing their education around them as people, not robots to input information. #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@bcdtech Great to have you here even if only for a few munutes. #ATchat

gallianstone Mar 23 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@KarenJan Means I really have to know their devices ( or be willing to explore quickly on the spot) and have pictures for core ideas #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Q2 coming up in a minute. #ATchat Remember to use the Q1/A1 format.

mkeeneyAT Mar 23 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@gallianstone @KarenJan Saw this on Twitter today. Thanks @SmartySymbols #atchat https://t.co/14K0GWizuv

AACreATively Mar 23 @ 8:14 PM EDT

It means talking with them and not just at them #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Q2 - How do you include students in the AT decision making and implementation process? #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:15 PM EDT

If you haven't been following the #csun16 conference you are missing great info on #a11y and AT #Atchat

bcdtech Mar 23 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@KarenJan A2: Listen to them, make their voice part of the process. #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1 - Interviews have to bepart of the assessment. Student voice is crucial. #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@bcdtech Great minds think alike. :-) #ATchat https://t.co/LJTXyqpxEm

bcdtech Mar 23 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@KarenJan A2: Listen to them, make their voice part of the process. #ATchat

gallianstone Mar 23 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@mkeeneyAT @KarenJan today S made his core word of the week sentence w/ this week's word + last 2 weeks' words - so proud! #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Meant to say A2. #ATchat https://t.co/9RZWbNd54D

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1 - Interviews have to bepart of the assessment. Student voice is crucial. #ATchat

VickiBostonSLP Mar 23 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Sorry I'm late- A1: waiting more than 2 seconds for #augcomm users to respond & make their own choices. #StudentVoice #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@gallianstone @mkeeneyAT Awesome. Building on skills. #ATchat https://t.co/PAQTkuM8fJ

gallianstone Mar 23 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@mkeeneyAT @KarenJan today S made his core word of the week sentence w/ this week's word + last 2 weeks' words - so proud! #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@VickiBostonSLP Ugh - there should be a law! #ATchat

gallianstone Mar 23 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@VickiBostonSLP Slowly training everyone around me to "count to 15, prompt and count again!" #atchat

wanyebao8 Mar 23 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@KarenJan A2 - Follow up and feedback from the students is essential for successful implementation. #ATchat

AACreATively Mar 23 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: Honoring their requests! One of our kids asked to play Xbox on his eye gaze during trials and today we got to tell him he can! #atchat

gallianstone Mar 23 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2. Ss involved at every step of the process. From the little things - like color - to the big things like symbol and system #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:20 PM EDT

VickiBostonSLP Mar 23 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@gallianstone I read an article recently that reported greater MLU & better content w/45 sec wait as compared to 10 sec. #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Aargh - I have no more battery power and stuck flying over New York. Have to leave #ATchat. Please feel free to continue & see you next week

gallianstone Mar 23 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@VickiBostonSLP been told not to go longer than 15 sec with very early communicators to be sure they are connecting cause/effect. #atchat

gallianstone Mar 23 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@VickiBostonSLP With emerging AAC users, I've definitely had wait time at a minute or more for independent response. #atchat

mkeeneyAT Mar 23 @ 8:24 PM EDT

AACInstitute Mar 23 @ 1:44 PM EDT

ATTENTION!!!! Our AAC Access Conference is open 4 registration! Over 10+ hrs of CEUs https://t.co/4YJeLMOuXb #Pittsburgh #slpeeps #learning

gallianstone Mar 23 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@mkeeneyAT @VickiBostonSLP seriously, people do not give half the wait time they themselves need for new skills! #atchat

mkeeneyAT Mar 23 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@KarenJan happy landings! #atchat

VickiBostonSLP Mar 23 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@gallianstone I'd heard similar but the ppl in this article had only had AAC systems for about 6 months. n was only 8 though. #ATchat

gallianstone Mar 23 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@VickiBostonSLP the 15 sec was pre-symbolic communicators - may be the difference. Longer for early symbolic makes sense. #atchat

KerriHslp Mar 23 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Any rec's for reading programs that have been successful for AAC users? #ATchat

VickiBostonSLP Mar 23 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@KerriHslp have you checked out the AAC literacy website from Penn State? We've used elements of that successfully. #ATchat

AACreATively Mar 23 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@KerriHslp The 4 Block Model Book and this website are a great place to start #ATchat https://t.co/HyIemKWfEr

KerriHslp Mar 23 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@VickiBostonSLP Yes, it seems very well thought out. Good to hear from someone who has used it. #atchat

mkeeneyAT Mar 23 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@AACreATively @KerriHslp Heard good things about Meville to Weville for early language and literacy. #atchat

KerriHslp Mar 23 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@AACreATively I hadn't seen this--thanks! Will check it out! #atchat

KerriHslp Mar 23 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@mkeeneyAT @AACreATively I will look into this too! Thanks #atchat

@VickiBostonSLP @KerriHslp and the Unique Curriculum #atchat

VickiBostonSLP Mar 23 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@mkeeneyAT @KerriHslp yes! I very much like Unique. And all the data collection that's possible is a nice feature. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Mar 23 @ 8:57 PM EDT
