School DAY - IDEAS  - Communication Workshop

1. During any activity that requires or allows turn taking, model “my turn”, “who turn?”, “your turn”, “his turn”, “when is my turn?”, “not his turn”, “your turn now!”, etc. 

2. Pause when navigating within the school or in the community and ask “turn?”, “where turn?”, “where do we turn?”, “do we turn now?”

3. Give directions to students “turn right”, “turn left”, “don’t turn”, “turn here”, “turn now”. 

4. There are many opportunities to model “turn” as you turn pages of books that you are reading.

 5. Rhyme: “Teddy bear, Teddy bear, turn around” is a fun way to model “turn”

 6. Do activity with transformations, eg. turn water into ice, turn oranges into orange juice, turn milk into icecream, turn apples into applesauce, etc.

School DAY - IDEAS  - Communication Workshop

1.Any choice making or requesting activity allows you to model WANT. Take turns making choices and modeling “I want that!” as you choose an object/toy/color/activity/word
2. Birthdays and Christmas: Make list of things you WANT to receive as gifts, e.g. “For my birthday, I want ___”. Extend to include what other people might WANT, e.g. “My Mum wants ___; My sister wants ___”. If students cannot find words in their AAC system, they could use catalogues to find things that they want.
3. Many cooking activities may involve choices, allowing opportunity for modeling and use of WANT. For example, choices for: pizza toppings when making pizza, sandwich fillings when making sandwiches, spreads when making toast, ingredients/flavourings when making milkshakes/smoothies/muffins, decorations when making cakes/cupcakes, fruits when making juices/fruit salad, vegetables when making soup/salad, etc.
 4. Discuss free time and playtime, allowing student to talk about what they WANT to play with, what they games they WANT to do, who they WANT to play with, etc.
 5. Working on protesting and rejecting, i.e. what the students DO NOT WANT, by presenting highly desirable and motivating items, alongside non-preferred items. Some examples of things that students may protest and say ‘I don’t WANT that!’ to include: plastic insects and spiders, water spray bottles/guns, sticky/gooey things, boring things, etc.
 6. Discuss places students want to go, e.g.. “I want to go to ___”. Make a travel list plan, a weekend/holiday plan, a poster of favourite places, etc.
