Dynamic Boards
This assignment was challenging as Meghan and I found out. It takes alot of organizing and thinking to develop a board that will meet your child' needs. Communication is important but the language is important to develop skills to communicate. We had great ideas but putting them together was difficult. We just had words and not complete sentences and questions. I do understand why this is important and the feedback that Barb gave us. I really enjoyed this course. I am looking forward to every ones case studies!!! Good luck to all!!! See you tomorrow night.

Big Mac Switches
This weeks class was interesting. You have so many things when you are deciding on a particular task for your students. Not always are the ones you plan are right. You really need to know your students cognitive and physical abilities in order to develop a program. With our particular task we were developing supports for the bathroom because our had physical and cognitive disabilities. We used the bog mac switch to support this student. Were the instructions do long, could the student understand or was the student able to use the device in the bathroom. I am really enjoying the class this term due to the fact you really have to think beyond the student. Looking forward to learning more next week.
