Description
The complex task of writing for our students with Significant disabilities and Complex communication needs continues. Beginning our writing with Predictable chart writing is idea generation. Webinar attendees will see how our schema building activities used in previous webinars now apply to written expressions for our student switch complex communication needs and AAC users. We will learn not only about the developmental writing stages but how our students with CCN can be engaged throughout those stages. Come and learn how to use engaging and interactive tools such as Canva to create a fun and engaging way to have our students participate in all 5 steps in our predictable chart writing. Attendees will learn how not only to use tools such as Canva, but how to bring in video and pictures without backgrounds to really put our students in the center of their own writing! We will also explore how to encourage spelling and typing along with a balanced approach of using the AAC users icons to support their writing.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to…
- State importance of having built schema before Predictable Chart Writing activities
