  • Watch ENSURING the AAC SYSTEM IS AVAILABLE
    CORE WORD: Watch For Educators, Related Service Providers and Parents ENSURING THE AAC SYSTEM IS AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES According to the United Nations, communication is a human right and for those who work with individuals who use Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC), we realize the urgency in making sure their system(s) are available at all times. We also realize that accessibility across settings cannot occur without the provision of training, coordination and planning and so such implementation supports remain the cornerstone of what we do. We also know that the depth and breadth of such support and habituation of use is only within reach with targeted planning and teamwork. As a team we determine potential opportunities in daily life, the community, at home, school and work. We all long for the dream-team, where everyone, and I mean everyone, takes the ball, (with the ball, being the AAC system) and runs with it all day long, but realistically and truthfully, the reality is that it takes time and work. Is it possible? Without question it is. WAYS WE CAN USE THE WORD DIRECT/PROTEST ATTENTION (e.g. Watch this, Don’t watch!) GAIN ATTENTION (e.g. Watch me) REQUEST (e.g. I want to watch) WARN (e.g. Watch out!) COMMENT (e.g. I can't watch!) ROUTINES AND SCHEDULES Snack/mealtimes: Students can make popcorn in the microwave and watch as the bag gets bigger. Student can also make cookies or bread and watch as everything bakes, or make a smoothie and watch as ingredients blend together 1 Circle: Adults can ask students which video the class should watch (greetings video, count to 100 videos, shape/number/letter/sight word videos).

Shop LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Summer is here, and along with the Texas heat it has also brought the opportunity to meet with friends and family once again! My daughter and I went to Bluegrass Night at Radio Coffee & Beer for the first time in almost 16 months and the magic was absolutely palpable. The music was electric, smiles were radiant, hugs lasted a bit longer and seemed a little more meaningful. Watching the kids play together, bobbing to the beats between mystical oak trees was pure joy. The unspoken, communal sigh of relief could be felt throughout the night. Everything felt right again. We have endured so much this past year, to be on this side with the music, the pulse of our community, is nothing short of incredible. This summer will undoubtedly be filled with an abundance of music and the CTBA is here to support every moment. While browsing our website, check out the growing number of local events and jams including the CTBA Jam at Oskar Blues (just about) every Sunday from 3-5. You can also find information regarding programs such as our 2021 Willa Beach-Porter Scholarship - applications are due on July 15th, and all Texas residents aged twelve and above are eligible to apply! We are so grateful for the continued support and help in sustaining this organization.
