Fall is Here: Easy AAC Ideas for the New Season
The change from summer to fall is more than just cooler weather and pumpkin spice. It’s a great chance to add fresh, meaningful words to your child’s AAC device. Every season comes with new sights, smells, and activities, and fall is packed with fun ways to help your child use his/her AAC device in a natural environment. Go outside and explore! Notice the crunchy leaves, the chilly air, the pumpkins on porches. While you’re out, model words like cold, orange, leaf, big, or go on your child’s device. Compare what you see now to summer: Hot in July vs cool in September/October. Inside, bake something fall-themed together, read a pumpkin or scarecrow story, or pick out a cozy sweater.
