Communication News
At Gympie Special School, we proudly celebrated AAC Awareness Month, highlighting the growing use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication among our students. Our teachers continue to model both PODD and Prolo, helping students become more comfortable and proficient in using these tools to express themselves.
We’re excited to announce that our speech therapists are in the process of designing Core Word Boards for the playground, which will soon be ready for use. Each week, we focus on a specific word, teaching it explicitly and modelling its use in sentences, which we then incorporate into our writing activities. This approach not only reinforces vocabulary but also encourages meaningful communication in various contexts.
Happy Communicating!
