Past Cards
Past event cards are a great to help students with communication. In previous post I discussed other low tech AT devices to help students with Autism communicate. Past event cards are similar to Break Cards and Choice Cards. Pictures are used to help assist the students communicate. These cards are used to help the students communicate what they did through out the day. If the student is nonverbal or has a hard time communicating, then they can point to the pictures to describe what activities they did in order that day. In addition, bounce cards can be used to help generate conversation and communication. The teacher can help start and prompt the conversation and the student can point to the past event cards to finish the answer. This way they can communicate what they did during that day.

Helen,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog posts. The images gave a great representation of what you were discussing. I have used past event cards before and found them to be highly beneficial for my students. Great job!
I find your examples interesting. These cards were difficult to locate. I had never heard of them before and its also nice to read about something new in education. I hope to be able to learn more about these students and their disabilities as I further my teaching career.
