International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication Celebrating AAC Aawareness around the world

My Friend Bonnie

 

Bonnie is my doll. Today I have bathed her with soap. She wore a red dress. She is looking nice.

Om uses coloured picture communication display with 2 pictures to a page. The message was pre-recorded in his “Talking Diary”. During a ‘bathing the doll’ activity the teacher asked “What is your Doll’s name?” She gave 2 choices. Om selected the name Bonnie by nodding his head in confirmation. When she asked, “With what will you bathe Bonnie?” Om pointed to the picture of soap. Teacher recorded this in the Talking Diary.  Then the teacher helped him to press each of the messages which were represented by pictures.
