Ivan is in the 1st grade in an AAC class in Maryland. The class contains 6 students who all use high end communication devices. He uses a DynaVox 3100 to communicate and access the currciulum. The assignement for this writing activity was to create a story about someone that wanted to go somewhere or get something but no one could understand what they were saying so they had to use they communication device to be understood. Mrs. Donohue is the teacher of the class, she did not edit the stories that the students wrote since she wanted them to be in the students own words and wrting styles.
