Welcome back to term 4! The communication team have had a flying start to the term. We have been busy planning some fun AAC (Augmentative Alternative Communication) activities to do during meetings to ensure all staff are practicing their skills to become better communication partners for our students. We will also complete our follow-up ‘Communication Accessible Schools Survey’ to measure how successful our initiatives have been this year.

The core words for weeks 1 – 5 are included. Each class focuses on these core words throughout the week to explicitly teach students through modelling, how students can use these words to communicate. Did you know that core words make up 80% of what people have to say? That’s why core words are so important to teach to our students. Parents can get involved by following the core word of the week schedule and implement them at home.
